This looks right to me. I tested it on AIX for you and checked it in.
While doing this, I looked at the opposite function, and found
that it was ok, but with a regno meaning something different.
The implementation in fill_sprs seems more natural to me, so
I fixed supply_fprs as attached.
Thanks again for the patch.
PS: I reformatted your ChangeLog entry. We try to keep lines under
70 characters long, with a hard-limit at 80 characters...
