Yes, I think it's clear that there is still something interesting going
on with the compiler and nested __builtin_compatible_p().

I'm currently creating a couple of gcc bug reports and plan to finally submit
this one as well.

Now I have to check if it does anything to the spurious "maybe-uninitialized"
warnings that I saw creeping in with PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES. My guess is
that it doesn't fix them (I submitted a patch to turn off those
warnings today when PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is set), but I'll try anyway.
