that would be me :)

well, theoretically this only gets used if and only if small structures
are passed in registers, which is only the case for sysv4 (linux,
eabi, etc).  

so it doesn't affect aix, and the linux abi is currently broken because
it should be putting the small structure values in little endian
mode.

wonder if geoff has further comments?
