Btw, one think I noticed is passes creating tempoaries with qualified type
which is not necessary.  Not knowing enough about the PRE issue, does


fix it?  I played with sth similar for create_tmp_{reg,var} in the
past but don't
remember why I dropped the ball on it.  At least changing create_tmp_reg
would be obvious (though that misses an assert the passed in type is
a gimple register type).  For create_tmp_var it might not be that easy.
