If the user configured with --enable-fixed-point on a target not
supporting it (i.e. anything other than MIPS) then they should expect
ICEs; they should only configure that way when working on adding the
support.
If they didn't configure with that option the compiler should give
sensible errors rather than ICEs.
I don't know which is the case here.
