x86 fp fix


Intel mode fp assembly output was wrong, mainly due to a wrong
assumption about how the Unixware assembler is broken.  Ian Taylor and I,
with help from Robert Lipe, thrashed out exactly how the Unixware 
assembler was broken quite a while ago (so that gas would be compatible).

Please check this patch over carefully.  I'm fairly sure it's right, and
it doesn't change AT&T mode output, but this function is mighty 
confusing.  Which is why I've added some comments.  Ah, the "smells"
comment might be wrong.

Note: Until recently, intel mode gas was also wrong in this area.

gcc/ChangeLog
2000-03-25  Alan Modra  <alan@linuxcare.com>

	* config/i386/i386.c (output_387_binary_op): Correct intel
	mode assembly output.  Correct Unixware assembler comment.
	Document input constraints.  Comment fp operations.
	(UNIXWARE_COMPAT): Define.  Add !UNIXWARE_COMPAT code.
