fix a serious pessimization that Tron on IRC pointed out where we would

"boolify" pointers, generating really awful code because getting the pointer
value requires a load itself.  Before:

_foo:
	movb	$1, _X.b
	ret
_get:
	xorl	%ecx, %ecx
	movb	_X.b, %al
	testb	%al, %al
	movl	$_Y, %eax
	cmove	%ecx, %eax
	ret

With the xform disabled:

_foo:
	movl	$_Y, _X
	ret
_get:
	movl	_X, %eax
	ret
