   Rusty,

   gcc -fstrength-reduce will turn loops like

	   for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		   a[i] = a[i+2];

   into

	   for (i = 9; i >= 0; i--)
		   a[i] = a[i+2];

   I will mention that it generates bad code.  I don't think gcc
   -fstrength-reduce should be used for anything until that is fixed
   since that is an evil bug.  The particular code I found it in has
   since changed, though, so I have no idea of how one could tell
   whether it is fixed.
