gcc-1.28 generates wrong code for unsigned short to int
#1771
Author: Tom Tkacik

PROBLEM: Gcc-1.28, (when not optimizing), produces
	incorrect code for moves from an unsigned short
	to either an int or an unsigned int.
	With the optimizer on, the correct code is emitted.
	(Does this happen on all versions, or only mine?)

SYSTEM: AT&T UnixPC   UNIX: SYSV.?  (ver 3.5)

CONFIGURATION FILES: standard for the UnixPC
	tm.h         ----> tm-3b1.h
	md   	     ----> m68k.md
	aux-output.c ----> output-m68k.c

COMMAND: gcc -v -S -gg bug.c
	The -gg option is for aiding in reading the output file.
	A program compiled with -gg cannot be assembled on the UnixPC.
