Darn, I was afraid that there might be a case like that.

It does. I also tested the patch on the slightly older sources that make up
the toolchain that was sent to our customer (which compiles the test case with
only one ldc1 instruction between a mfhi and a mult instruction) and it fixes
that toolchain as well.
