Re: [Libffcall] Return small structs in registers for powerpc on openbsd

[Bruno Haible]

Hi Josh,

Thank you for the patch.
It will take me a while to make sure your patch is good, and include it.

Maybe you can help me with some infos:
  - Which OpenBSD version and which qemu-system-ppc or qemu-system-ppc64
    options do you recommend for running it in a VM?
  - If gcc 4.1.2 needs patches, to make it compile, maybe a different
    version is simpler to use. How about using gcc 4.2.4 instead?
  - Do you have a formal documentation of the "secure plt ABI"?

Oh really? I thought that the hppa code for small structs was so braindead
that it would remain the only OS that needs this code. The code for
m68k, s390, sparc is simpler.
