gcc-2.96-81 -O2 miscompiles the attached code. RedHat 7.1 sym53c8xx SCSI
driver is affected, on my system (Tekram 53C860) RH7.1 install program
causes "oops" (non-fatal, but you can't access SCSI) when insmoding
sym53c8xx.o.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Tekram 310U (or possibly other NCR53C8xx-based) SCSI PCI card
2. run RH7.1 install from CD
3. watch the screen


Actual Results:  $ gcc -O2 test.c -o test
$ ./test
x = 0 (should be 8)

int main(void)
{
        unsigned int x = 8;
        if (x < 5)
                x =  4;
        else
                x =  8;

        printf("x = %u (should be 8)\n", x);
}
I haven't tested current gcc compilers, possibly the problem should be
corrected there as well.
