Shell sort function

Hi guys,
I have a test case (shell sort, see attached) compiled with different
ARM compilers:
GCC-4.6.3, GCC-3.4.6, and ARMCC.

Both ARMCC and GCC-3.4.6  generate quite optimal assembly while GCC-4.6.3
inserts extra load/store instructions compared to the other compilers.

Can the SSA representation usage in modern GCC be the reason for this?

If so, has anyone tried to do something about it?

% armcc
ARM C/C++ Compiler, 4.1 [Build 713]

The file has been compiled with following options:
for GCC:
-O3
for ARMCC:
-O3 -Otime

-fno-ivopts option fixed this issue (thanks to Alexander Monakov ), so there is
an induction variables optimization issue.
