FWIW, this doesn't sound right to me, at least not without more justification.
The idea is that things like frame_pointer_rtx are supposed to be unique,
so the original code:

>    if ((ep = elimination_map[hard_regno]) != NULL)
> -    return ep->from_rtx != reg ? NULL : ep;
> from != hard_regno ? NULL : ep;

ought to be correct in itself.  reload did the same thing:

          for (ep = reg_eliminate; ep < &reg_eliminate[NUM_ELIMINABLE_REGS];
               ep++)
            if (ep->from_rtx == x && ep->can_eliminate)
              return plus_constant (Pmode, ep->to_rtx, ep->previous_offset);

It sounds on the face of it like the bug is elsewhere.
