So I spent most of yesterday bisecting a hard to diagnose bug that looked
like a GPU driver bug - but the bisect somewhat surprisingly ended up at
this commit.

Doing the partial revert below solves the regression - as the above hunk is
not obviously an identity transformation. I have a pretty usual GCC 10.3.0
build environment with nothing exotic.

I amdended the commit with the partial revert in tip:x86/build.

Thanks,

Ingo
