That is not really what gcc calls a delay slot. I don't think the existing delay slot mechanisms are going to help you. This is something which you can try to avoid using the instruction scheduler, and you will probably have to insert some required nops in the machine_reorg pass (see mips_reorg in config/mips/mips.c for an example of that).
