I looked through this patch, and didn't see any problems. It looks
pretty straight
forward. I am willing to approve it if Richard doesn't object.
I have the same concerns as Richard though. The function calling code
is complex and fragile. Problems here can result in silent ABI changes
that are difficult to detect, particularly since we have no established
testsuite for ABI compatibility. You should be prepared to revert the
patch if problems arise.
