[Bug target/33236] New: -minimal-toc register should be psedu-register

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

If -minimal-toc is used with a leaf function (that uses global memory), the
register r31 is saved/restored which causes a LHS store on the Cell's PowerPC
side.
Simple example:
int i;
int f(void)
{
  return i;
}
asm:
        std 30,-16(1)
        ld 30,.LCTOC0@toc(2)
        ld 9,.LC0-.LCTOC1(30)
        lwz 3,0(9)
        ld 30,-16(1)  <--- LHS because this is most likely within 50 cycles
