 this was fixed in -current by revs 1.5 and 1.6 of
 src/external/gpl3/gcc/dist/gcc/config/m68k/m68k.md.
 
 it turns out that the local patch that christos reverted there
 hadn't been necessary for over a decade:
 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12792
 
 so it should be fine to apply the same change to the older version
 of gcc in the netbsd 7.x tree.  that would be equivalent to
 going back to rev 1.1.1.2 of m68k.md in the netbsd-7 branch.
