The comment in target.def says:
Up to two condition code registers are
supported. If there is only one for this target, the int pointed
at by the second argument should be set to -1. */
While tm.texi says:
arguments point to the hard register numbers used for condition codes.
When there is only one such register, as is true on most systems, the
integer pointed to by @var{p2} should be set to
@code{INVALID_REGNUM}.
I had just read the comment in target.def when I was writing this
patch which is why I had used -1. I agree INVALID_REGNUM is better.
I will send out a patch to fix the comment in target.def later.

I don't have time to do a backport and to test it.
