>Description:

For the second parameter to the second call to Read_cfh in the example
code, -O works, but -O2 doesn't. With -O2 it seems that the registers
%l5 and %o1 are both renumbered to %o2 with unfortunate
consequences. The assembly code fragments are:

-O2 (bad)			-O1 (good)
~~~~~~~~~			~~~~~~~~~~
sethi   %lm(cfh), %o2		sethi   %lm(cfh), %l5
			        ...
				sethi   %hh(cfh), %o1
ldx     [%fp+2015], %o4
or      %o2, %hm(cfh), %o2      or      %o1, %hm(cfh), %o1
mov     %l2, %o0
          
sllx    %o2, 32, %o2	        sllx    %o1, 32, %o1      
add     %o2, %o2, %o2	        add     %o1, %l5, %o1
or      %o2, %lo(cfh), %o2	or      %o1, %lo(cfh), %o1

add     %o4, %o2, %o1

With -O2 we end up getting the 64 bit constant that is being loaded
into %o1 horribly mangled.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile the following code with 'gcc -O2 -S' and look at the assembly
code. Alternatively try compiling and running MG 1.2.1 from 
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mg/mg-1.2.1.tar.gz.
