Bug fix for egcs-1.1



I attach a patch based on the 19980816 egcs snapshot that fixes the
following bug:

On powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, compiling the attached 'test12.c' with 
'gcc -O2 test12.c -o test12', and running it, the program abort()s,
when it should not.

The generated code for 'splat' is:

splat:
        stwu 1,-32(1)
        fadd 1,1,1
        stfd 1,8(1)
        lwz 9,8(1)
        lwz 10,12(1)
        ori 10,10,1
        stfd 1,dval@sdarel(13)
        la 1,32(1)
        blr

and there should be two (integer) stores and a (floating-point) load
after the 'ori' instruction.

This bug causes glibc (all 2.0.9x versions) to be miscompiled for that
configuration.

I haven't fully tested this fix, but I thought it was important enough
to send in anyway.  I am fairly confident it is correct.
