The test case is included in the PR above, but it's not
necessary to include this check because
* the autoconf checks succeed with gcc3, it doesn't optimise
  them away as aggressively as recent gcc4 versions
* the only way to disable it is using -O0

The idea of the PR is: there's a possibly unsafe optimsation,
but we can't turn it off with -fwrapv as we're supposed to,
only with using -O0, which sucks, so please fix -fwrapv. (It
does too few, not too much.)
