Re: [PATCH] Fix newlib build failure for mips16

Hmm, you've of course right!



Adding code to do that to individual MIPS patterns feels like a hack to me.
The pass should be doing it itself.
Agreed.  It's a hack.  But it was the best I could see to do at this stage.

Been looking at it a bit more, and I think the problem is that we're
somehow ending up with a second stack pointer rtx, distinct from
stack_pointer_rtx.  And then I remembered that this had been discussed
before, see the tail end of:

   https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-01/msg02362.html

I'd be happier with the mips_stack_address_p change described there,
although it still seems like a hack.
Let me dig a little further. Two stack pointers just sounds fundamentally wrong.
