 Scanning through mini/mini-ppc.c, it seems you only need "mcrxr 0" (i.e. 
 "ppc_mcrxr (code, 0);"). If you have a spare register, an easy replacement 
 seems to be "mfxer  Rx" and "mtocrf 0, Rx" (i.e. with your current set of 
 macros: "ppc_mfspr  (code, <x>, ppc_xer);" and "ppc_mtcrf (code, 0x1, <x>);").

+Olaf, thanks for the info: I'll eliminate the use of mcrxr. Are there
+any other quirks like that for ppc970 that we might be bitten by?
+Do you know if "mfxer Rx" also clears the OV, CA and SO bits in XER?
+That is one of the uses we had for that instruction.
