When run 4.7 regression test on cortex-m0 with options "-mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m0
-O1 -funroll-loops", case gcc.dg/torture/builtin-complex-1.c will fail due to
the corruption of argument register as shown in below:

compare:
    push    {r3, r4, r6, lr}
    mov    r6, fp
    mov    r4, sl
    mov    r3, r9    <<-- r3 is clobbered
    push    {r3, r4, r6}
    mov    r6, r8
    push    {r6}
    mov    fp, r0
    mov    sl, r1
    mov    r9, r2
    mov    r8, r3  <<-- wrong value is used
