wtf, "doesn't seem to hurt us at -O2". Look again at the 64 bits
numbers! Losing 5% on the fp benchmarks is a serious regression.
Even without exercising the heavy-ammo loop optimizers, -fwrapv is
a serious performance-hurter.
Still these figures are very interesting for Ada, where I am afraid
the kludge we do in the front end for required overflow checking is
much more expensive than these figures indicate. Of course this will
be *highly* target dependent.
