The problem is that the proposed patch is more a workaround, rather 
than that a generic fix is needed in push expanding machinery. (as
mentioned earlier in thread, emit_move_insn knows how to decompose
decimal into integer, but push code doesn't)

I can write it, but my hdd just died today so I will need some time to
recover data from backups.  So if someone beats me, it would be nice.
I will try to get into it ASAP.
