The code needs to split %f34 and get the two SImode quantities that happen to be in %f34. This should be done by a stack intermediate, but when doing that, reloads trips and falls. The root problem seems to be that the SPARC port allows a change from DImode to SImode for regno 66 (%f34) (by CANNOT_CHANGE_MODE_CLASS) even though there's no %f35 and no way to move around such a small quantity, also specified through HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK(either of 66 and 67, SImode) being 0. So, reload happily wraps the reg in a subreg and calls emit_move_insn. It seems wrong for the sparc CANNOT_CHANGE_MODE_CLASS to not refuse this change, but also wrong for subreg_get_info to not consult HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK when setting info.representable_p (as "%f35" is flagged as representable, which it isn't according to the related field comment in rtl.h). There's a kludge involving the latter, that implies that such a non-representable register is expected to be flagged as representable (ugh!), see last "return -1" in simplify_subreg_regno.
