[Bug target/17838] New: spills are not re-used

[dean-gcc at arctic dot org]

the code produced by this has a 1036 byte stack frame... hand inspection of the
assembly finds many stack spills which are never re-used after the value is
dead.  for example look at 172(%esp), 748(%esp), 628(%esp), 588(%esp), ...

.i and .s will be in attachments.
