Richard found some N^2 behavior in SLSR that has to be suppressed.
Searching for the best possible basis is overkill when there are
hundreds of thousands of possibilities.  This patch constrains the
search to "good enough" in such cases.

Bootstrapped and tested on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu with no
regressions.  Ok for trunk?

Thanks,
Bill

	* gimple-ssa-strength-reduction.c (find_basis_for_candidate): Limit
	the time spent searching for a basis.

Hm, rather than stopping the search, can we stop adding new candidates
instead so the list never grows that long?  If that's not easy
the patch is ok as-is.

Thanks,
Richard.

Don't we want a param for that, or is a hardcoded magic constant fine here?

I think this way is probably better.  Right now the potential bases are
organized as a stack with new ones added to the front and considered
first.  To disable it there would require adding state to keep a count,
and then we would only be looking at the most distant ones.  This way
the 50 most recently added potential bases (most likely to be local) are
considered.

Thanks,
Bill

I suppose a param for it would be nice.

OK, I'll get a param in place and get back to you.  Thanks...
