+;; The brabc/brabs patterns have been disabled because their length computation
+;; is horribly broken.  When we call out to a function via a SYMBOL_REF we get
+;; bogus default and minimum lengths.  The trick used by the PA port seems to
+;; fix the minimum, but not the default length.  The broken lengths can lead
+;; to bogusly using a short jump when a long jump was needed and thus
+;; incorrect code.
+;;
+;; Given the restricted addressing modes for operand 1, we could probably just
+;; open-code the necessary length computation in the two affected patterns
+;; rather than using a function call.  I think that would fix this problem.
