	rs6000.c would need to be touched for the DFmode/DImode fix.  That
patch might be small enough that it would not be a burden to maintain.
What is impractical is to replicate ALL gcc-2.7.2 argument handling,
including stdsrg/varargs.

	Yes, that is one of the reasons for my concern.  The rs6000 port
is running short or already has run out of target flags, constant and
extra constraint flags, etc.
