Why did you remove the compilerproc construct and added a manually coded
pass_2 for tcgasnode? fpc_do_as returns the instance as function result so
that you could use it in the middle of an expression. I don't see the
advantage of or need for a manually coded pass_2. There's a bug in it (it
doesn't save/restore the register variables), but that can't cause the
crashes since they also happen without -Or.
