 For one reason or the other sometimes we end up with if statements in Cmm
 where both branch targets are the same:

 Actual example from NoFib:
 {{{
        u9oL:
            if (_c9oA::P64 != 5) goto u9p2; else goto u9p2;
 }}}

 Which eventually results in this code:
 {{{
 _u9oL:
         cmpq $5,%rbx
         jne _u9p2 <- utterly pointless
 _u9p2:
         addq $16,%rbp
         jmp _c9iq
 }}}
