>Description:
The 2000-08-14 patch by Richard Henderson to not force
constants into registers went too far: it assumes that
constants always can be loaded into parameter registers
directly.  Without an intermediate pseudo, GCC fails
before reload has a chance to fixup the load because it
tries to load the constant directly, then in pieces,
then change the address of the constant, then aborts.
