OK, I will try to re-check and update the patch once again.

I am bootstrapping at least two platforms for each calls.c change.  I am sorry
for causing such breakage, but in fact all my patches so far are bugfixes,
so the calls.c is already broken.  I am trying my best to understand that code
and get it working right in all cases. 

I would happily bootstrap on PA (since this one seems to be causing most problems)
if I had one available.
