[Bug target/18404] New: unnecessary sll when -mint64

[fshvaige at cisco dot com]

Configured with:
--target=mips-elf --program-suffix=.mips --with-newlib --without-headers
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc -v

Thread model: single
gcc version 3.4.2

File /tmp/gcctest_01.c:

typedef signed char t_SI __attribute__ ((__mode__(SI)));

t_SI inc_SI (t_SI v) {
    return ++v;
}

Command line:
gcc.mips -S -O2 -march=sb1 -mabi=64 -o /tmp/gcctest_01.s /tmp/gcctest_01.c

Result file gcctest_01.s:

        .file   1 "gcctest_01.c"
        .section .mdebug.abi64
        .previous

        .align  3
        .globl  inc_SI
        .ent    inc_SI
inc_SI:
        .frame  $sp,0,$31               # vars= 0, regs= 0/0, args= 0, gp= 0
        .mask   0x00000000,0
        .fmask  0x00000000,0
        .set    noreorder
        .set    nomacro
        j       $31
        addiu   $2,$4,1
        .set    macro
        .set    reorder

        .end    inc_SI

Command line:
gcc.mips -S -O2 -march=sb1 -mabi=64 -mint64 -o /tmp/gcctest_01.s 
/tmp/gcctest_01.c

Result file gcctest_01.s:

        .file   1 "gcctest_01.c"
        .section .mdebug.abi64
        .previous

        .align  2
        .align  3
        .globl  inc_SI
        .ent    inc_SI
inc_SI:
        .frame  $sp,0,$31               # vars= 0, regs= 0/0, args= 0, gp= 0
        .mask   0x00000000,0
        .fmask  0x00000000,0
        sll     $2,$4,0
        .set    noreorder
        .set    nomacro
        j       $31
        addiu   $2,$2,1
        .set    macro
        .set    reorder

        .end    inc_SI

Question: what is this "sll $2,$4,0" good for or why it absent in first result
(without -mint64) ?
