I presume the bug is that foo put the return value in %d0 while bar
should have its return value in %a0. This function isn't eligible
for the optimization being used due to this need to move the result
into a different register.

I believe that gcc-4.4 for m68k is being held up by the TLS support patches.
While I haven't been personally involved to any great degree, I got the
