Indeed the problem seems to be related to a problem during the reload pass. I 
now think, that I have found a solution for the original problem that needs a 
tiny change in the back-end.

Since anyway any useful function using long longs will require the frame 
pointer, there is (in my opinion) no use for DI objects in the upper register 
range. The following patch restricts DI objects to registers with smaller 
indices. When using this patch, I succeed in building the gcc-4.0.0 snapshot 
dating from the 12th of december 04 without problems. This snapshot previously 
did not compile with the symptoms mentioned above. 
 
For a later head revision, unfortunately something else and independent seems 
to be broken. I'll check today's head this evening and report on this, as soon 
as I have analyzed this more in detail. 
 
Patch that needs to be applied to /gcc/config/avr/avr.c 
Reported differences are differences against the 4.0.0-20041212 snapshot.
