I'm not opposed to changing the ABI, given that it's managed correctly
across the whole toolchain.

We know that the current ABI is not the most code space efficient. I
even have specific recommendations from within Atmel (since, remember, I
work for Atmel).

IMNSHO, Code space trumps all other concerns.
