So what you have here is two different ABIs that have to coexist together?
This is best addressed by changing GCC itself to know about the different ABIs. Trying to tackle in ASMs is going to be painful, particularly since your asms change the stack pointer and that's generally verboten for an ASM. If you're going to insist on doing this with an ASM you're likely going to need to only use registers and constants for constraints since otherwise you run the risk of getting a stack address. Jeff
