could you mail me the plans/thoughts for the tree-based sibcall
optimized? i'd really like to do work in this direction. i also
learned that the sibcall optimizer does optimize non-static calls on
some platforms, like the sparc. on alpha and i386 it does not,
however. i'd like to look into this issue also, as these are my
primary development targets.
