+PR5945: This: 
+define i32 @clamp0g(i32 %a) {
+entry:
+        %cmp = icmp slt i32 %a, 0
+        %sel = select i1 %cmp, i32 0, i32 %a
+        ret i32 %sel
+}

+Is compile to this with the PowerPC (32-bit) backend:
+
+_clamp0g:
+        cmpwi cr0, r3, 0
+        li r2, 0
+        blt cr0, LBB1_2
+; BB#1:                                                     ; %entry

+        mr r3, r2
+        blr
+
+This could be reduced to the much simpler:
+
+_clamp0g:
+        srawi r2, r3, 31
+        andc r3, r3, r2
