[llvm-dev] Problem ScheduleDAG on PowerPC, X86 works fine.

[James Y Knight via llvm-dev]

That's seems really odd that ADDC/ADDE uses glue there, instead of a plain
value.

The x86 backend has code that converts the glue into a value, which is why
it wasn't affected.... (LowerADDC_ADDE_SUBC_SUBE).
