You've found what I believe to be a bug in LRA.

Specifically, lra-constraints.c split_reg uses SECONDARY_MEMORY_NEEDED_MODE to
choose what mode to spill a caller-save register.  Given the existing
definition in i386.h, this tries to spill a MASK_CLASS register in SImode.  But
MASK_CLASS does not support SImode, only QI/HImode.  Which leads to substantial
confusion in the allocator trying to satisfy the move.

I believe the use of SECONDARY_MEMORY_NEEDED_MODE in split_reg is wrong.
What's the history behind that, Vlad?  Surely we can spill the value in
its current mode?

Certainly this patch fixes the crash from Kirill's reproducer...


r~
* lra-constraints.c (split_reg): Always spill in the current mode.

As I remember I tried to decrease number of macros used for LRA.

Just using mode of reg might not work for general case.

Reload (caller-saves.c) uses HARD_REGNO_CALLER_SAVE_MODE.   I guess we 
should use it.

I'll try to implement this and after some testing and checking on a few 
platform I'll commit it.

I guess we will have a solution at the end of this week.
