i see some similary warnings when compiling following
with gcc3.2 and binutils 2.12

//-----------
// waw.c
int sh;

int f(int s)
{
  int test = sh;

  if(s)
    return (test == 1) ? 0:(13);
  else
    return (test == 2) ? 0:(13);
}
//-----------

~/src/ia64 > gcc -c -O3 waw.c
/tmp/cchXUlJF.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cchXUlJF.s:27: Warning: Use of 'addl' may violate WAW dependency 'GR%, % in
1 - 127' (impliedf), specific resource number is 8
/tmp/cchXUlJF.s:27: Warning: Only the first path encountering the conflict is
reported
/tmp/cchXUlJF.s:25: Warning: This is the location of the conflicting usage

This only occurs when using option -O3 to gcc.
This looks like beeing an assembler problem, not one from gcc.
Also, when looking into the assembler output, i could not find an error:

        .file   "waw.c"
        .pred.safe_across_calls p1-p5,p16-p63
        .text
        .align 16
        .global f#
        .proc f#
f:
        .prologue
        .body
        .mii
        addl r3 = @ltoff(sh#), gp
        cmp4.eq p8, p9 = 0, r32
        ;;
        nop.i 0
        .mmi
        ld8 r2 = [r3]
        ;;
        ld4 r14 = [r2]
        nop.i 0
        ;;
        .mii
        (p9) cmp4.eq p6, p7 = 1, r14     ! it is this stuff that triggers the
asm warning.
        (p8) cmp4.eq p6, p7 = 2, r14     !
        ;;                               !
        (p6) mov r8 = r0                 !
        .mib                             !
        (p7) addl r8 = 13, r0            !
        nop.i 0                          !
        br.ret.sptk.many rp              !
        .endp f#
        .common sh#,4,4
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 3.2"

until now i could savely ignore the warning. 
if a ia64 asm guru could please comment ?

i dont see the following anything to do with the asm issue frome above.
