Hmm, shouldn't declarations in header files always get the native
attribute, unless specified otherwise?
Come to think of it, such a mechanism for function declarations could also
help with the reg-struct-return conundrum on svr4 targets. Gnu/Linux elf
binaries that use a lot of return value passing of small unions loose out
against Linux a.out binaries because they pass the results in memory rather
than in a register. If we could use -freg-struct-return without affecting
the interface to system library calls, that would be quite helpful.
