Re: more m68k breakage on m68k-linux

hm.. the problem I see is that the register allocator is initialised
with random garbage. Eg FIXED_REGISTERS is 24 elts big, thus
initial_fixed_regs[] is also only 24 elts and in init_reg_sets() we
copy a random 25th elt into fixed_regs[] and risk segfault.
I am pretty sure more it results in more damage later on.
I can confirm that it causes problems, after fixing FIXED_REGISTERS and
CALL_USED_REGISTERS I can finally bootstrap gcc again, but my tree has
another fix for a subtle miscompilation, which I still have to test
separately. reg_class and all related macros still have to be fixed though.
Well done!
I'm convinced that argptr missing from FIXED_REGISTERS was an anomaly,
but I still don't quite understand how it would affect init_reg_sets().
Could you elaborate?
