------- Comment #5 from rearnsha at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-12-14 23:35 -------
There's a lot of debate about whether the ARM behaviour is a good thing or not.
 Not pushing the return address means that the debugger cannot generate a
back-trace in the event that the no-return function is something like abort();
however, we could avoid pushing most of the other registers.
