Good point.

Actually, I could never get GCC to avoid a divide on sparc64 for
certain kinds of pointer arithmetic when the elements were not
a power of two.  It probably has something to do with signedness.

I think I narrowed is down to the fact that you can't legally replace
a signed divide with shift/add/subtract.  But I could be remembering
things wrong.
