It depends on how hard that is.  The last one I fixed was very easy.

The only one left I'm aware of is in boyer_moore, which shouldn't be
hard to fix, either.

More generally, as long as even a single platform we care about uses
ralloc.c, I don't think we can leave those problems unfixed, because
their effects are so nasty.
