Subject: Bug#1142039: gcc-snapshot: Please add patch to enable LRA by default on m68k

Source: gcc-snapshot

Hi,
after one of the last show stoppers for switching the m68k backend to the new LRA register allocator was resolved yesterday [1], I think we should finally take the leap now and enable LRA on m68k.
The attached patch does exactly that and applies against the gcc-snapshot package cleanly.
Can you please include it for the next gcc-snapshot upload?
Thanks,
Adrian

Use LRA for reload instead of the old reload framework. This option is
