Found it.

  int bytes =
    (mode == BLKmode) ? int_size_in_bytes (type) : (int) GET_MODE_SIZE (mode);

	Since type is variable sized, int_size_in_bytes returns -1.

  int words = (bytes + UNITS_PER_WORD - 1) / UNITS_PER_WORD;

	(-1 + 4 - 1) / 4 == 0.  Oops.

  if (words <= cum->nregs)

	Which is always true, which leads us to belive that
	we're going to pass the variable sized struct in eax.
	Of course, this doesn't match up with what we decide
	in MUST_PASS_IN_STACK, so that's not where the data
	actually gets put.

Fixed thus.

Also, I think it's bad form that your test case declares a
return type of int, but doesn't return anything.  It shouldn't
have affected the reproducibility of this bug as all, so I
suggest changing it.
