In a generated test case, even -O1 produces broken code... Only -O0
looks like it produces correct code, though the code is so much more
verbose, it takes more work to verify...

code:
int
foo(int *b)
{
        return (*b & 0xf000000) >> 24;
}

-O0:
00000000 <foo>:
   0:   e1a0c00d        mov     ip, sp
   4:   e92dd800        push    {fp, ip, lr, pc}
   8:   e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4      ; 0x4
   c:   e24dd004        sub     sp, sp, #4      ; 0x4
  10:   e50b0010        str     r0, [fp, #-16]
  14:   e51b3010        ldr     r3, [fp, #-16]
  18:   e5933000        ldr     r3, [r3]
  1c:   e203340f        and     r3, r3, #251658240      ; 0xf000000
  20:   e1a03c43        asr     r3, r3, #24
  24:   e1a00003        mov     r0, r3
  28:   e89da808        ldm     sp, {r3, fp, sp, pc}

-O1 & -O2:
00000000 <foo>:
   0:   e5d00000        ldrb    r0, [r0]
   4:   e200000f        and     r0, r0, #15     ; 0xf
   8:   e12fff1e        bx      lr
