I would expect you can kill that patch; I don't think you can "fix"
the PA backend because RTL passes can muck this stuff up pretty
badly (even if you have a solid definition of what REG_POINTER
really means -- see the archives from the late 1990s and early 2000s)


What I had meant by fixing the PA back-end was for Pointer Plus.
Changes are needed in reloc_needed and hppa_gimplify_va_arg_expr and
not fixing the use of REG_POINTER :)  Sorry if I was not clear there.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
