lra_assign has an assert to make sure that no pseudo is allocated
to a conflicting hard register. It used to be restricted to
!flag_ipa_ra, but in g:a1e6ee38e708ef2bdef4 I'd enabled it for
flag_ipa_ra too. It then tripped a few times while building
libstdc++ for mips-mti-linux.
Previous patches fixed one of the problems: registers clobbered
by the taking of an exception were being treated as live at the
beginning of the EH receiver, and this got propagated to predecessor
blocks. But it turns out that there was a second problem: eh_return
data registers were also being marked live in the same way.
These registers are defined by the unwinder and so in reality they
really are live on entry to the EH receiver. But definitions can
only happen in blocks, not on edges, so for liveness purposes
we use artificial definitions at the start of the EH receiver.
process_bb_lives should therefore model the effect of a definition,
not a plain use.
Tested this time by building a full mips-mti-linux-gnu toolchain
(including the prerequisite 26 glibc sysroots). Also boostrapped
& regression tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
OK to install?

registers as being live at the beginning of the EH receiver.
