Nice. That tells me a lot more, so I hope to hear confirmation it's accurate.
A nit: "word aligned" -- you used thas as a synonym for "multiple of 4 aligned"
but some of us have 2-byte words.
On the function descriptor concept generally: it wasn't clear to me whether a
target that wants to use this mechanism needs to do anything to tell GCC how to
construct descriptors. Does GCC have a standard recipe it uses that "should"
work for any target? I assume so because there aren't any other target hooks
or special patterns for this. It would be helpful to say so explicitly.
