Implemented with the attached patch.
I've been wondering if I should use copy_insn, but that doesn't seem to make
any real difference after reload.
Also, copying only PATTERN, INSN_LOCATION, and REG_NOTES into the new
insn obtained from make_insn_raw had seemed a possibility, but there is no
firm assurance that we will only see insn with the code INSN.
In the end, continuing to use copy_rtx to make the copy seems least likely to
break something.  And now that the copying is in one place, it's easier to
change the way it is done if you want to try that.

We waste a bit of memory (temporarily, as it is garbage collected) by using
make_insn_raw just to increment cur_insn_uid.  Alternatives would be to
move the function inside emit-rtl.c, or have emit-rtl.h provide a means to
increment cur_insn_uid.  Well, or we could directly access  
crtl->emit.x_cur_insn_uid, but that would certainly be hackish.

regression tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu X cris-elf

(cris-elf has delayed branches, CASE_VECTOR_SHORTEN_MODE, is not  
currently affected by PR54938, and builds libgfortran.)

C / C++ / objc regression tests for mipsel-elf also passed.
2012-10-19  Joern Rennecke  <joern.rennecke@embecosm.com>

	* reorg.c (copy_delay_slot_insn): New function.
	(steal_delay_list_from_target, fill_slots_from_thread): Use it.
	(fill_simple_delay_slots): Likewise.

Yeah, that's unfortunate.

Agreed.

I agree using crtl->emit.x_cur_insn_uid from reorg.c would be hackish.
I think it would be better to put the new function in emit-rtl.c
and just have:

/* Return a copy of INSN that can be used in a SEQUENCE delay slot,
   on that assumption that INSN itself remains in its original place.  */

rtx
copy_delay_slot_insn (rtx insn)
{
  /* Copy INSN with its rtx_code, all its notes, location etc.  */
  insn = copy_rtx (insn);
  INSN_UID (insn) = cur_insn_uid++;
  return insn;
}

OK with that change, thanks.
