GCC 4.1.1/4.2.0 build failure with current binutils (iWMMXt)

[Steven Newbury]

I have built an EABI/iWMMXt Gentoo based system.  The toolchain I used is
modified to add a Linux/EABI/iWMMXt target.  It has been fine until I changed
my binutils from an earlier snapshot to a current version Gentoo 2.16.92,
csl-2_17-branch or CVS trunk.  Now when attempting to build GCC (on the host) I
get the following error:

gcc -c   -O2 -march=iwmmxt -mcpu=iwmmxt -pipe -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall
-Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic

cp/typeck2.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2391: Error: iWMMXt control register expected -- `tmcr
wcgr0,r1'

This occurs if I attempt to build GCC trunk or 4.1.1 and I suspect 4.1.0 but I
haven't tested it.

I have attached my patch for the Linux/EABI/iWMMXt target.
