I figured I'd try both jc and jnc versions:

   text           data     bss     dec            hex   filename
12203914        1738112 1081344 15023370         e53d0a defconfig-build/vmlinux
12204228        1738112 1081344 15023684         e53e44 defconfig-build/vmlinux-jc
12203240        1738112 1081344 15022696         e53a68 defconfig-build/vmlinux-jnc

Clearly I picked the wrong one :-) It also shows there is real value in
exposing this decision to GCC.
