The history is that GCC implemented the AIX ABI incorrectly.  Apple's ABI is
based on the AIX ABI.  The ABI technically is correct, but the Apple system
compiler never conformed to the ABI.  Because Apple cannot break binary
compatibility, it needs to use the old default behavior of GCC as its revised
ABI.  The behavior on AIX and PPC64 Linux have been corrected to conform to
their respective ABIs.
