+ cagney/2001-07-23: gdb/179: Also, GCC, when
+ outputting LE O32 with sizeof (struct) <
+ MIPS_SAVED_REGSIZE, generates a left shift as
+ part of storing the argument in a register a
+ register (the left shift isn't generated when
+ sizeof (struct) >= MIPS_SAVED_REGSIZE). Since it
+ is quite possible that this is GCC contradicting
+ the LE/O32 ABI, GDB has not been adjusted to
+ accommodate this. Either someone needs to
+ demonstrate that the LE/O32 ABI specifies such a
+ left shift OR this new ABI gets identified as
+ such and GDB gets tweaked accordingly. */
