Not a quite simple one. The scenario is: I tested tcc to compile 
pcc (http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ftp/pub/pcc/pcc-cvs-071027.tgz) 
and then that pcc when it compiles it's own pftn.c, in the 91kb 
assembler file writes one single wrong instruction 'movl %al,%cl' 
which should be 'movb %al,%cl'.  It's a rather indirect evidence, 
but still.

The patch in question is here:

Well, maybe it's some interaction with goto's or maybe with the 
'save_regs()' mechanism, or maybe just with another bug that we
don't know yet ...
