   OK to commit?

   For opcodes:
	   * mips-opc.c (move): Use "or" rather than "addu" or "daddu".

We deliberately chose ``addu'' and ``daddu'' rather than ``or''
because several MIPS chips have two pipelined addition units but only
one pipelined logical unit.  Those chips can move two pairs of
registers around at once if we use ``addu'', but they can only move
one pair if we use ``or''.

Is there any reason we should use ``or''?  Your comment mentions
something about ``gcc -mips3 -gp32''; can't we fix gcc?
