Yeah, I'm afraid it's the wrong solution. ;)  It basically disables
small-data load-address operations on MIPS16.

I gather from the insn above that a use of the GP pseudo
register has been introduced during reload.  At first blush,
I think the fix is to make mips_split_symbol move
(const (unspec [(const_int 0)] UNSPEC_GP)) into "temp"
when no_new_pseudos.  I think the cleanest way to do that
would be to add a new define_expand to generate the move,
and adjust mips16_gp_pseudo_reg accordingly.

I might have time to try a fix this weekend.  Please feel free
to file a bug report and assign it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Richard
