For the file

unsigned long foo(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) {
	unsigned long c = a - b;

	if (a < b) {
		c += 100;
	}

	return c;
}

gcc -O2 -S generates (The cmpl after the subl is unnecessary):

        .file   "bug-75773.c"
        .text
        .align 2
        .p2align 2,,3
.globl foo
        .type   foo,@function
foo:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        movl    8(%ebp), %edx
        movl    12(%ebp), %eax
        movl    %edx, %ecx
        subl    %eax, %ecx
        cmpl    %eax, %edx
        jae     .L2
        addl    $100, %ecx
.L2:
        movl    %ecx, %eax
