Hi Geert!

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

I have replaced it with two individual mov's now as suggested since I now
understand what's happening here.

Hmm. I assume this is something one of the SH maintainers or Yutaka Niibe
can answer.

Makes sense.

I didn't even know that SH has delay slots.

Yes.

Hmm. I'll wait for more feedback whether need to do the same as on m68k here.
