Sorry but I made a typo. Of course, what the compiler emits reads:

testcase_2: sub   r2l, r2l
            mov.b r2l, @TCW
            mov.b @TCW, r2l  ; <-- ????
            rts

Still, this is a serious issue, which appears to be present on other
targets also. I can prove it at least for i586:

_testcase_1__Fv:
    movb    $0, _TCW
    ret
(...)
_testcase_2__Fv:
    movb    $0, _TCW
    movb    _TCW, %al   ; <-- ????
    ret

This is happening only with the c++-compiler, the c-compiler issues the
expected code. IMO this means that the error must be somewhere within
the target-independend part of the sources.

This applies to last weeks snapshot. I don't know how long this has been
an issue, because I haven't been involved in GCC for a while.

Ralf
