I am using registers g4-g7 on sparc (instead of global memory) using the
following macros:


	#ifdef __GNUC__
	#ifdef sparc
	# define REGISTER_0(decl) register decl asm ("g4")
	# define EXT_REG_0(decl)  register decl asm ("g4")
	...
	#endif
	#endif

	....

	ifndef REGISTER_0
	# define REGISTER_0(decl) decl
	# define EXT_REG_0(decl)  extern decl
	#endif


I was wondering if anyone new which registers are reliably usable on an RS6000,
or a DecStation 3100 (or any other machines). 

Thanks,
Kev.
