Note that we've had problems with several different target-*/translate.c;
I think the problem is simply that gcc inlines a lot of the functions
of the main decoder loop and then finds that the resulting enormous
function triggers problems with optimisation passes that were accidentally
written to be O(n^2) in memory or CPU usage. So you may find you need
to restructure more than one target's translate.c code.
