See also comment in expmed.c (expand_shift_1): It is theoretically possible that the target machine might not be able to perform either shift and hence we would be making two libcalls rather than just the one for the shift (similarly if IOR could not be done). We will allow this extremely unlikely lossage to avoid complicating the code below. */ then goto .L42 ;) Cheers, Oleg
