I can confirm that the bug exists in gcc-4.3.4 and gcc-4.4.5,
but it has been fixed in gcc-4.5.1 which generates:

bar:
        link.w %fp,#0
        move.l 8(%fp),-(%sp)
        jsr foo
        move.l %d0,%a0
        unlk %fp
        rts

I don't yet know the gcc PR number or svn commit # for the fix
(in case people want a backport).
