Okay. I'll see how far I can get this weekend.

Phew :) BTW, should I send in my patches anyway? They do involve some
major hacking of i860.md. I rewrote all the movXX insns to avoid
multiple asm insns per rtl insn. There's also a couple of patches
scattered through the core code to allow for bogus endian machines (see
the endian-ness comment in i860.h). In fact, it was the interaction of
my movXX insns and reload that were giving me all my hassles.
