arm-size-branch_cost.patch reduces BRANCH_COST for thumb2 -Os to 1. The
lower branch cost makes expand choose branches to expand code like '(a
== b || c == d)'.

The impact of arm-size-branch_cost.patch on the example from the bug
report for ARM Thumb-2 -Os is a size reduction of 15%, from 68 to 58 bytes.

This size reduction is illustrated in this diff of the assembly
(left, without patch, size 68. right, with patch, size 58):
