Are you working with an older version of gdb? This should be fixed in
current CVS. Right now the disassembler functions use 
      ui_file_rewind (stb->stream);
      pc += TARGET_PRINT_INSN (pc, di);
      ui_out_field_stream (uiout, "inst", stb);

TARGET_PRINT_INSN is wired into the multiarch machinery, and it will call
gdb_print_insns_sh:

  set_gdbarch_print_insn (gdbarch, gdb_print_insn_sh);


Do you have the above lines in your version of gdb?
