 You are absolutely right.  I was afraid that it is because of the first
 cycle multipass insn scheduling.  So I switched it off and got the same
 result.  So this is not because of the recent insn scheduling changes. 
 Simply insn scheduling (even simplest heuristic list one) is O(n*2)
 algorithm.  So it may behave very nasty when the input is big.  There
 are some heuristics constraining number of dependencies but they do not
 help in this case.  Even without insn scheduling compilation of this
 file takes 12 minutes on my sparc computer.
