It is.  Counting a wrong value can hardly be described as
`optimizing'.  Either the loop is optimized out completely (but we've
been there, this is at least contradictionary to traditional gcc
behaviour which was IMHO intentional -- but sorry, i can't find the
reference for this in the gcc info files right now), or it is left
intact.  Decrementing the loop counter by an arbitrary value can only
be described by the word `bug'.
