Hi, The lo register is not listed in the clobber list in the inline asm statement for the madd-8.c and msub-8.c testcases. This means that when building for the n64 ABI GCC is free to use the lo register instead of the stack when saving/restoring the clobbered registers. Then then means that it decides to use the msub/madd instruction to perform the "x - y * z" operation rather than using mul; addu/subu which the test is looking for.
The following patch therefore adds the lo register to the clobber list for the madd-8.c and msub-8.c testcases. The patch has been tested on the mti/img elf/linux-gnu toolchains, and there have been no new regressions. The patch and ChangeLog are below. Ok to commit?
