Let me expand my idea a bit. IIRC, get_hard_reg_initial_val and
friends will automatically emit intialization of a pseudo from
pic_offset_table_rtx hard reg. After reload, real initialization of
pic_offset_table_rtx hard reg is emitted in pro_and_epilogue pass. I
don't know if this works with current implementation of dynamic
pic_offset_table_rtx selection, though.
Uros.
