Wow. This is very good, given, that I know quite some things it does
wrong, when it comes to multi-reg pseudos. (Sometimes also reload likes
to overrule coloring decisions made by reg_alloc, but then forgets some
conflicts, coloring some pseudo the same, although they conflict. This
is, what prevents a gcc bootstrap with only -g in BOOT_CFLAGS).

This is even more good (Daniel already explained why). The spill code
insertion currently is a gross hack to make it work at all, and has a
large potential to get better very much.
Ciao,
