Subject:  New: __m64 return value should  be returned in %mm0

Calling convetions for x86 specify that __m64 values should be returned in %mm0 
MMX register [1]. Gcc returns __m64 values on stack.

The testcase:

--cut here--
#include <mmintrin.h>

__v8qi
aaa (__v8qi x, __v8qi y)
{
  __v8qi mm1;

  mm1 = _mm_add_pi8 (x, y);

  return mm1;
}

int main() {
  __v8qi mm0 = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 };
  __v8qi mm1 = { 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 };

  union ttt {
    __v8qi mm;
    char x[8];
  } temp;

  temp.mm = aaa (mm0, mm1);
  printf ("%i\n", temp.x[0]);

  return 0;
}
--cut here--

will produce:

aaa:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        movl    8(%ebp), %eax
        paddb   %mm1, %mm0
        movq    %mm0, (%eax)   <<<<-- %mm0 goes to memory
        popl    %ebp
        ret     $4

main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        subl    $24, %esp
        andl    $-16, %esp
        subl    $16, %esp
        leal    -8(%ebp), %eax
        movl    %eax, (%esp)
        movq    .LC0, %mm1
        movq    .LC1, %mm0
        call    aaa
        movsbl  -8(%ebp),%eax    <<<<-- return value taken from memory
        subl    $4, %esp
        movl    %eax, 4(%esp)
        movl    $.LC2, (%esp)
        call    printf
        xorl    %eax, %eax
        leave
        ret
