I am intrested in this problem.
How to fix the problem ?
I want to know if we can use  two dfa together,et.,for Itanium2 "two" and 
"twob"
In the function max_issue() in haifa-sched.c,when "best==all" we find the 
max issued insns,we use dfa twob to reord the insns to get better template 
or code density.
But i am not sure dfa "tow" and "towb" can work synchronously ?
Or how i can make them work synchronously ?Specially for different insns
