Hi Guys, I am applying the patch below to add a couple of peephole optimizations to the RX backend. It seems that GCC does not cope very well with the RX's ability to perform either sign-extending loads or zero-extending loads and so sometimes it can generate an extending load followed by a register to register extension. The peepholes match these cases and delete the unnecessary extension where possible.
