FYI, It's possible to fix this without adding an architecture method, or implementing location expressions (the penny just dropped). The basic problem is the same as for the MIPS - need a custom register area. Hence: - define a sequence of nameless cooked ([NUM_REGS .. NUM_REGS+NUM_PSEUDO_REGS) range) registers ordered the way stabs would like them - modify the existing stabs_regnum_to_regnum to map the messed up registers onto those values Andrew
