The change triggering this is:

commit 5afb2ffdac5bb150a503e6ddbb9df6a7e486afaf
Author: Evgeny Stupachenko <<a href="mailto:evstupac@gmail.com">evstupac@gmail.com</a>>
Date:   Thu Mar 2 17:38:46 2017 +0000

    The patch turns on epilogue unroll for loops with constant recurency start.

The optimized bitcode reverting the change is:

define i32 @main() local_unnamed_addr #0 {
fib.exit17:
  %0 = tail call i32 (i8*, ...) @printf(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([5 x i8],
[5 x i8]* @.str, i64
0, i64 0), double 0x3FF9E4129E4129E4)
  ret i32 0
}


while ToT looks like:

define i32 @main() local_unnamed_addr #0 {
  br label %1

; <label>:1:                                      ; preds = %1, %0
  %2 = phi i32 [ %5, %1 ], [ 34, %0 ]
  %3 = phi i32 [ %2, %1 ], [ 21, %0 ]
  %4 = phi i32 [ %6, %1 ], [ 2, %0 ]
  %5 = add nsw i32 %2, %3
  %6 = add nsw i32 %4, -1
  %7 = icmp eq i32 %6, 0
  br i1 %7, label %fib.exit, label %1, !llvm.loop !2

fib.exit:                                         ; preds = %1
  %8 = sitofp i32 %5 to double
  %9 = fdiv double %8, 5.500000e+01
  %10 = tail call i32 (i8*, ...) @printf(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([5 x i8],
[5 x i8]* @.str, i64
0, i64 0), double %9)
  ret i32 0
