Out of curiosity: when does gcc optimize them out?  All versions of
gcc i tried (AVR, FreeBSD/i386, Linux/i386, Solaris/Sparc,
HP-UX/PA-RISC, all of them were 2.95.2 versions) don't optimize it
away in the following file, not even with -O3 (which implies
-fstrength-reduce, which is documented to perform the loop variable
elimination):

void
foo(void)
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) ;
}
