Thanks for all the info!
I'm still unclear on one thing: is the fix split between the
middle-end and the back-end, or all in the back-end? I understand
what you wrote; I'm unclear on whether or not doing something similar
in the MIPS backend is possible, without waiting for some
machine-independent part of the PA stuff to hit the tree.
