Thus speaks the person who doesn't have to write the code :-)

Someday I'd like to drop support for APCS frames and move to the ATPCS 
which doesn't generally require a frame pointer; then GCC could do its own 
thing when it needs a "frame pointer" for its own internal reasons.  
However, that day isn't on us yet...
