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.
