I don't understand.  You're making a claim that the C compiler isn't 
producing optimal code for some case.  Can you give an example of a C 
function that llvm compiles to something suboptimal?  LLVM certainly does 
generate stuff like "jmp %eax", but presumably not in the way you want. 
Without an example to see what you mean, we won't be able to fix the 
deficiency that you've encountered.

Thanks,
