Sorry, reading back in different surroundings made me notice a couple
of silly errors:

...but that same in_class_p change means that the "rclass != new_class"
condition isn't needed. I.e.
if ((*loc = get_equiv_substitution (reg)) != reg)
...as above...
if (*loc != reg || !in_class_p (reg, cl, &new_class))
...as above...
else if (new_class != NO_REGS)
change_class (regno, new_class, " Change", true);
return change_p;

Clearly I can't read. The code _does_ prefer higher numbers. I still
think "distance" is a bit misleading though. :-)
Just for the record, the rest of my question:

still applies.
