Can you show me a small test case please? It is very tricky. Here are
the ChangeLog entries:

Mon Apr 14 14:56:58 1997  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * i386.h: Change the opcodes for fsubp, fsubrp, fdivp, and fdivrp       
        with no arguments to match that generated by the UnixWare
        assembler.

Sat Apr  5 13:14:05 1997  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * i386.h: Revert last patch for the NON_BROKEN_OPCODES cases.  

Fri Apr  4 14:02:32 1997  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * i386.h: Correct opcode values for fsubp, fsubrp, fdivp, and
        fdivrp.

It is very different from Intel and very confusing. But changing it
will break many things.

Thanks.
