[LLVMdev] Fwd: Debugging/Fixing 'Interval not live at use' errors

That fits. This line

LDri_ab %FP, %SP, 4

should almost certainly be printed as:

%FP = LDri_ab %SP, 4

The most likely cause is a slightly malformed BuildMI that's adding
%FP without a define flag. Usually you put the destination register
inside the call to BuildMI, and inputs with "addReg(...)" and so on.
All this actually does is fiddle the flags in an appropriate manner;
you can emulate it with addReg, but why bother? So what you should be
looking for is something like:

BuildMI(LDri_ab).addReg(Dest).addReg(Src).addImm(Offset)

and changing it to:

BuildMI(LDri_ab, Dest).addReg(Src).addImm(Offset)

Hope this helps.

Tim.
