Yep.  Here's the context.  Target string = mipsisa64-elf.
Host i6860pc-linux-gnu.  The test case is gdb.base/return.c, the
multilib parameter is "-mips32", and the testsuite generated this
compiler command:

The sequence of commands that gets the mips64-gdb into trouble
are taken from the return.exp testcase:
	(gdb) target sim
	(gdb) load
	(gdb) break func1
	(gdb) run
	(gdb) return

Now, return_command calls frame_pop which calls regcache_save, which
eventually calls mips_mdebug_frame_prev_register with a regnum that is
saved on the stack.  Here's the partial backtrace at that point:

Register 120 is the first one that's saved on the stack (ie.
trad_frame_addr_p is true).  So now we call trad_frame_prev_register,
which calls get_frame_memory, passing it a size which it gets from
calling register_size(gdbarch, regnum), which looks like this:

#0  register_size (gdbarch=0x84093e8, regnum=120)
     at /home/msnyder/gnupro/gnupro-cross/gdb/regcache.c:281
281       size = descr->sizeof_register[regnum];

Well regcache->descr->sizeof_register [120] is 8, but by
looking at the saved_registers structure, you can see that the
addresses where they are saved are only 4 bytes apart.  So we
read 8 bytes when we should read 4 bytes, and eventually
the value comes back shifted left by 4 bytes in its buffer.

Therefore when we allow the return command to complete, we get:

(gdb) return^M
Make func1 return now? (y or n) y^M
#0  0x8002032400000000 in ?? ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/return.exp: simple return

Where the address shown should have been 0xffffffff80020324.

This causes at least 500 FAILs per multi-lib, all of which
go away with my patch.  I'm guessing they all have to do with
return, finish, or target function calls.
