 I know this is a regression, but:
 * it's a subtle and difficult bug in reload, which may take a long time 
 and a lot of work to find
 * reload is intended to go away for 3.4
 * it only occurs using inline assembly
 * it only occurs with --fomit-frame-pointer
 
 I don't think it's reasonable to hold up 3.2.1 or 3.3 for this bug.
