Whoa - that's not actually the culprit, is it?

the warning was trigged from code generated with gcc -O0. Assembly
code was generated with gcc -S and the same command line. I think I
know why the problem may not have been noticed before - with gcc -O2
-S I discover that all the LDRTs are optimised so that Rm never equals
Rn. (One is usually ip or lr, but not quite always)
