This breaks ARM EABI. The symptom is that we generate signed instead
of unsigned libcalls for a % b where a and b are usigned ints.
The problem is here in sign_expand_binop(), where we generate a fake
optab:
/* Try widening to a signed int. Make a fake signed optab that
hides any signed insn for direct use. */
wide_soptab = *soptab;
optab_handler (&wide_soptab, mode)->insn_code = CODE_FOR_nothing;
We later call expand_binop (mode, &wide_soptab ... which in turn
calls optab_libfunc (binoptab, mode) which calls optab->libcall_gen()
and inserts the fake optab into the hash table. This means that the
hash table ->optab points into the stack. We don't want to do this,
I'm sure.
I suspect the easiest way to fix this is by setting libcall_gen to
NULL in the fake optab.
Andrew.

* optabs.c (sign_expand_binop): Set libcall_gen = NULL in the fake
signed optab.
