FWIW, I don't think it's necessarily your patch that is convoluted, but
instead the original code.  It's also the case that I haven't spent
nearly as much time in the combiner as I have in other parts of GCC.

That can certainly be done if necessary.  I'm just not sure it's needed,
at least not at this time.  If you want to make that change, feel free
to submit it.

Yes.  It's a fairly minor issue.

Thanks. Given that x86 & ARM are both SELECT_CC_MODE targets, I suspect
they're OK.  I mostly want a sniff test on a target that doesn't define
SELECT_CC_MODE (ppc for example).

Thanks,
