I'm sorry, I'm just muddied the waters. I agree with most of what has
been said already. I don't think reloading the PIC register was
necessary in the egcs (and now the gcc) tree in the non flat case.
There are some permutations of the code that would have required the
reloading of the pic register in the non flat case, but I don't know
if those permutations ever existed in the old FSF tree or the ACT tree.
Well, there was never a separate ACT GCC tree. The "non-flat" case was the
default, case, right? I can tell you that for sure this code was
neeed in the default case in the FSF tree at the time it was added.
