Yeah, some documentation might help ;)

I think what's happening is a push_int (or reference, or something) is
being called, which causes push_float (when we get to that point for
calling soft_fcmpl) to push its arguments into registers i5 and i6
because `pushed_int' has been set to `true', but soft_fcmpl expects
them in f12 and f14.

So either (1) the call to push_int preceding this is bogus, or (2)
that call needs to be followed by a popargs, but isn't.
