+Consider:
+
+int isnegative(unsigned int X) {
+   return !(X < 2147483648U);
+}
+
+We current compile this to:
+
+define i32 @isnegative(i32 %X) {
+        icmp slt i32 %X, 0              ; <i1>:0 [#uses=1]
+        %retval = zext i1 %0 to i32             ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+        ret i32 %retval
+}
+
+and:
+
+_isnegative:
+        cmpl $0, 4(%esp)
+        sets %al
+        movzbl %al, %eax
+        ret
+
+We should produce:
+
+	movl	4(%esp), %eax
+	shrl	$31, %eax
+        ret
