Oops indeed. Even with a very simple case:

int sum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}

with -fno-omit-frame-pointer we get:

sum:
addi.d $r3,$r3,-16
st.d $r22,$r3,8
addi.d $r22,$r3,16
ld.d $r22,$r3,8
add.w $r4,$r4,$r5
addi.d $r3,$r3,16
jr $r1

So for leaf functions (where we don't save $ra) $fp is saved at cfa-8.

I agree it now.
