Hi Guys,

  I would like to apply the patch below to allow simplify_subreg_regno()
  to treat the frame pointer register in the same way as the stack
  pointer register when the LRA pass is running.  I found that I needed
  this whilst trying to enable LRA for the RX and RL78 targets.  (LRA is
  still not working for these targets, but this patch lets more of
  libgcc be built than before).

  No regressions noted on an i686-pc-linux-gnu toolchain built with this
  patch applied.  OK to apply ?

Cheers
  Nick

Ewwwww.

Before accepting this, I'd like to see more of the rationale behind the 
change.

*sigh* Of course now I cannot reproduce the failure that this patch used 
to fix.  Oh well.  I withdraw the patch for now and if I can find a way 
to reproduce the problem I will post the patch again along with a more 
complete description of what is happening.

Cheers
