grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (10/17/89)
configuration: config.gcc decstation, version 1.36 with a couple of patches
symptom: can't allocate large stack frames
repeat-by:
try to compile:
foo()
{
int x[100000];
bar(x);
}
fix: apply following patch to tm-mips.h & recompile final.o. I
defined ASM_TMP_REG as register #1, corresponding to the temporary
register ($at) used by the assembler to construct 32 bit literals.
