Note, the combiner is only run if you are optimizing. If you are just saying
gcc foo.c and looking at the output, it won't run the combiner. If you are
optimzing, try putting a breakpoint on recog_for_combine, and follow through to
determine where it is failing. You can see what pattern is being combined by
doing:


(gdb) print *pnewpat
(gdb) pr


and pr is a gdb macro in .gdbinitrc that calls debug_rtx in the compiler with
the last value printed.
