Target: sh-elf
>Description:
When using the -m4-single-only version of libgcc, the sdivsi3_i4 implementation uses dr0 and dr2 to perform the division.
This is fine in theory, however it also forcefully overwrites the fpscr register, including the FR bit.
This means that if FR was previously 1, the registers clobbered will not be those that the caller considers dr0 and dr2,
but rather xd0 and xd2. This is harmful to programs making use of the XMTRX.
Other libgcc functions may be affected as well.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Change the implementation to preserve the value of FR when overwriting fpscr.
