Hi Richard,

I can reproduce it fine here with 
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/.
As far as I see it, the Instruction at 0xc9105830 generates a mov 0 to 
r30, which is optimized by tcg_opt_gen_mov and r30 is set to 
TCG_TEMP_CONST. When 0xc9105838 or r0, r30, r30 should be optimized r30 
is already in the state TCG_TEMP_CONST and the assert fails.

Cheers,
Bastian
