Hi,

Thanks for the code size reduction patch, I have a few questions:

1. How does code compiled with -moutline-msabi-xlogues interact with
older code compiled without it? Are these only called on ABI transition?

2. Does this mean code compiled with -moutline-msabi-xlogues is not
usable with older GCC? (no a problem, just something to note).

3. Is the old behavior (emit inline code) still default?

mingw-w64 itself does not use any ms_abi/sysv_abi marked functions
internally, so it should be unaffected. I don't think Cygwin uses any
either, but I need to double check.
