Comment(by dterei):

 Sure. What is the background? I read the Erik is working on restoring PPC
 support but I assume that is being done using the NCG? This is a bug in
 the LLVM code generator. Erik are you working on the NCG for PPC or trying
 to get LLVM to support PPC? If the former this bug probably isn't relevant
 to you.

 If working on LLVM I would get an unregisterised build working first which
 shouldn't trigger this bug since no registers will be in use. A registered
 build will require modification to LLVM itself.
