Chris, 

I notice you followed up to Jason's original request.

The 'ARM problem' turned out to be in loop.c not in gcse (gcse had done 
some transformation that the loop optimizer didn't understand).  Does the 
patch I installed fix the MIPS problem you reported?

R.

NB.  I don't have a mips machine, or understand mips assembler, so I can't 
look into the problem, this is just to notify you of some activity in the 
area.

Does the loop.c patch that fixed the ARM problem have any effect on the 
mips problems?

R.
