one of our more ambitious users discovered an ICE while building libmsn with -O1 -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-block. dropping any one of these flags makes it go away. i'll attach a reduced testcase which i believe is invalid code but still ICEs, and the original preprocessed sources. i also reproduced the error with a recent 4.4 branch checkout (-r152264).
