Yes, I think that's the patch you sent me.  That together with
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-11/msg01641.html
probably fix his problem.  I just now verified that those
two patches when applied to gcc-3.3.2 don't introduce any new
regressions on sh4, and am about to verify they fix his problem.
At some point soon I'll also test gcc-3.3.3 and gcc-3.4 snapshots,
time permitting.  (This is all a spare time project now; I no longer
work for the company that originally had me supporting gcc on sh4.)

But it'd be nice to know how to submit a testcase that
involves a shared library :-)
