Fix internal compiler error on "var2 = var1 + 1" patterns
This appears to be the correct fix. It was provided by Tormod Volden
(debian.tormod@gmail.com). The final commit is substantially different from
Tormod's submission mostly due to housecleaning (removing the old patches
and updating the README). Tormod's comments follow.
The original addhi_mem_1 "insn" instruction pattern /matches/ two
memory operands, just with the /constraint/ that these are the same
location. A pattern match tells the compiler "you should be able to use
this, but you might have to work on it to meet the constraints". For
typical constraints on registers the compiler can add "reloads", moving
stuff between registers or from memory, until the constraints are met
and the instruction can be used. However, in this case, no amount of
reloads can make two memory locations the same if they already weren't,
so the compiler breaks down and cries "unable to generate reloads".
It seems this issue only appears if optimization is enabled. The proof
is in gcc's reload.c and is left as an exercise to the reader.
Limiting the matching pattern to identical memory operands avoids
these situations, while allowing the common "var++" cases.

Each record has the following structure: a start-of-record character "S", an ASCII record type digit (0-9), a two-digit ASCII hex byte count, a four-digit ASCII hex address, an optional sequence of two-digit ASCII hex data values, and a two-digit ASCII hex checksum. The LW tool chain issues only S0, S1, S5 and S9 record types. S1 records are limited to maximum of 16 data bytes in length, and paragraph alignment of addresses is favored. The address sequence of the S-Records directly follows that of the source file; multiple ORG directives in the source code may result in out-of-sequence addresses in the S-Record output. </P ><P >Motorola S-Record format is a standard ASCII format accepted by most memory device programming equipment.
