It seems that the proposed target independent thread pointer stuff made it into
mainline.  I guess the SH specific built-ins can be removed now.  I will check
it out.

Another thing that I'm not sure about is whether 'ldc  rn,gbr'  and 'stc 
gbr,rn' instructions can go in the delay slot, or whether they will cause a
slot illegal exception.  Currently this 

void* test (void)
{
  return __builtin_thread_pointer ();
}

will result in

  rts
  stc   gbr,r0

I've looked in the source of the GDB sim and it seems that the sim will not
detect this as a slot illegal instruction.  However, the sim will also not
detect 'stc  sgr,rn' as a slot illegal instruction, but in my older
interrupt/exception code I was doing:

  stc  sgr,r15
  rte
  nop

because otherwise it would cause trouble.
The HW manuals unfortunately don't mention any details.  Basically all of them
say: stc, stc.l, ldc, ldc.l instructions might cause a slot illegal exception. 
But it doesn't say which register combinations are slot illegal and which are
legal.

Kaz, do you happen to know something regarding this matter?
