I checked and that one was the only one.

That's an valuable observation, thank you! I found why. Sometimes 'collapsed
libcall' instruction is emitted in combine pass and 'clobber PR' is set then. I
commented this out and checked that file and it seems to be OK. I will rerun
testsuite again to be sure.

Now regarding tests that fail on vanilla GCC and pass with patch. It looks like
something was changed in the middle of GCC and it started to produce other
instruction patterns that cannot be catched by existing isns and thus expanded
to library calls. The patch simply fixed it.
