I think it is equivalent to 6845 that has small testcase. THere is
also 7034. I think both should be high prioerity as they are
regressions, but I am not sure whether I can change the prioerity right
now.
I was tracking it down a bit and the problem appears to be in register
used in very contradictionary ways sometimes as integer, sometimes as
float using subreg.
The register costs are high for fp<->integer conversions and somehow the
cheapest comes out MMX_CLASS. Register allocation decides to put
register there and later we die.
I am not sure how to fix that properly... Hope that helps :)
