Upon re-reading gfc_type_convert_binary, it isn't dead.
It simply isn't needed, because gfc_add() eventually
lands at arith.c (eval_intrinsics):

    /* Numeric binary  */
    case INTRINSIC_PLUS:
    case INTRINSIC_MINUS:
    case INTRINSIC_TIMES:
    case INTRINSIC_DIVIDE:
    case INTRINSIC_POWER:
      if (!gfc_numeric_ts (&op1->ts) || !gfc_numeric_ts (&op2->ts))
	goto runtime;

      /* Insert any necessary type conversions to make the operands
	 compatible.  */

      temp.expr_type = EXPR_OP;
      gfc_clear_ts (&temp.ts);
      temp.value.op.op = op;

      temp.value.op.op1 = op1;
      temp.value.op.op2 = op2;

      gfc_type_convert_binary (&temp, warn_conversion || warn_conversion_extra);
