Re: PATCH - Fix an ICE compiling for ppc64

Apparently this testcase only fails in 64-bit mode when PIC is
disabled, which was not mentioned in the cover letter with the patch. It
works with -fPIC and -mdynamic-no-pic, but not -static.

Sorry, I should have mentioned it.


	Also, constraint 'J' is not a short, so the name of the new
predicate is misleading.

	While a tighter predicate is not necessarily wrong, the failure is
being exposed when not compiling PIC because of some other problem.

Tighter predicate generates better code and bypasses the later problem, I think. But there is still the bug when a load from memory is needed by reload with -static. Where you able to reproduce the ICE on your end david?
