Reduced microbude test case
We're observing a significant performance drop (~30%) in an application when
comparing gcc trunk against gcc 12, observed with -mcpu=neoverse-v1 on an
aarch64 Neoverse-V1. With OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 we see a regression of nearly 60%
between gcc12 and gcc13. The test case attached is reduced from a test shared
here https://github.com/UoB-HPC/microBUDE and has been made more suitable for a
gcc bug report.
