Hi Craig,

It sure is.

Interestingly, master branch top does it properly but when I adapted 
that logic for newlib way back in 2015 I thought I'd "improve" it and I 
eliminated 1 line of code.

Some improvement, huh?

Yep, that's the intent.

But to be honest, gcc is pretty smart generally and this change doesn't 
really generate less code.  It just looks a little cleaner.
