+We compile:

+define i32 @bar(i32 %x) nounwind readnone ssp {
+entry:
+  %0 = icmp eq i32 %x, 0                          ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+  %neg = select i1 %0, i32 -1, i32 0              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+  ret i32 %neg
+}

+to:
+
+_bar:
+       cmplwi cr0, r3, 0
+       li r3, -1
+       beq cr0, LBB1_2
+; BB#1:                                                     ; %entry

+       blr 
+
+it would be much better to produce:
+
+_bar: 
+        addic r3,r3,-1
+        subfe r3,r3,r3
+        blr

 We currently compile 32-bit bswap:
 
 declare i32 @llvm.bswap.i32(i32 %A)
