The new tests added by this patch fail for arm-none-eabi targets because -O2 
leads to instructions to be reordered widely. In this case, the instruction 
that follows the first one for line 64 is related to line 70 so the test is 
failing. Shouldn't this test be compiled with -Og and probably also -finline-
small-functions -findirect-inlining -fpartial-inlining which relates to 
inlining and are included in -O2.

Best regards,

Thomas
