I presume you mean "...with respect to JNI..." - in which
case I have experience only with Sun's JDKs on Windows
running on x86 where this holds true - I don't know about
other Windows targets, much less the behaviour of Sun's
JDKs on those (if such JDKs exist, that is).

I know that even on Linux/x86 "stdcall" is a valid function
attribute, but JNI doesn't use "stdcall". Therefore, we
can't do such a thing, IMHO.

Using Google, I found the following header file in an
openly browsable Sun JDK 1.2.2 installation on Linux, where
you can easily verify this bit:
