Maybe IBM decided that XPLINK should be the only - or preferred -
linkage method in the future, because standard linkage is considered
too expensive esspecially for small functions and inlining is not always
possible?
And this is done to force the users to migrate to XPLINK
when switching to AMODE 64 ... which maybe the common AMODE in the
future, too. Just guessing ...

It is not at all clear to me why they seem to think that the only need
for AMODE(64) programs is for totally new or rewritten systems.
I think it is unfortunate that LE chooses not to support the standard
linkage conventions for 64-bit programs. The excuse seems to be that
XPLINK is "faster".
