This brings up a very important issue.
libcalls pass arguments based on their mode, not their type. ie, we
can not distinguish between a pointer and an integer of the same
size when passing an argument to a libcall (or returning a value
from a libcall).
It may not matter in your case, but it is something worth looking
into.
