>Description:
A <= compare&branch followed by a == test on the same arguments uses a redundant compare for the == on x86.

Using built-in specs.
Configured with: ../gcc-3.1/configure 
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.1
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at the -O3 -S output for x86.  Notice the two cmpls on either side of the "ja .L4".  I believe that the second cmpl is unnecessary as the flags from the first should survive the "ja .L4".
>Fix:
Better value propagation.
