Err.. isn't the GP computed at the entry point of functions that need to use it?

That said, under n32 and n64 abis it is call-saved; under o32 it's call-clobbered.
So by itself this is still a fix for new-abis, since we don't save it in the
prologue.  OTOH, this does suggest an alternate solution... ;-)
