You've told the assembler to plug in the constant 0xdecf0000 to a ldil
instruction.  ldil has a 21 bit field so you only get the bottom 21 bits
of your constant.  The number they represent is the constant shifted
left by 11 bits.  Just happens to be 78000000  :-)

Try "ldil L%0xdecf000,%r9"

'twould be a lot nicer if "objdump -d" produced output that could be fed
back into the assembler, in which case you'd see the L%.  I may even fix
it one day when I find I have nothing to do...
