I agree but the HP assembler accepts stuff like this, so people are
going to complain. There's a PR from Randolph regarding the pdtlb
instruction. The HP assembler allows the use of a '0' index for '%r0'.
I'm glad the glibc builds under the strict mode. Do you know if
the parisc kernel builds with FLAG_STRICT mode?

I got tired editing gmp yesterday. I need it for gfortran testing ;(
Possibly, we could have a '-mstrict' option with the default on. Then,
we would get strict checking on all instructions, not just loads and stores.
Users could still build legacy code with '-mno-strict'.
