linked with ELFv2 objects, so this is one case where preprocessor
tests in ffi.c are fine. Also, there is no need to define a new
FFI_ELFv2 or somesuch value in enum ffi_abi. FFI_LINUX64 will happily
serve both ABIs.
values from 2011-11-12, but in so doing reintroduced string
instructions to sysv.S that are not supported on all powerpc variants.
This patch properly copies the bounce buffer to destination in C code
rather than in asm.
I have tested this on powerpc64-linux, powerpc-linux and
powerpc-freebsd. Well, the last on powerpc-linux by lying to
configure with
CC="gcc -m32 -msvr4-struct-return -mlong-double-64" \
CXX="g++ -m32 -msvr4-struct-return -mlong-double-64" \
/src/libffi-current/configure --build=powerpc-freebsd
and then
make && make CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \
RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-m32/-msvr4-struct-return/-mlong-double-64\
check
gcc for quite some time. Since gcc now does the correct alignment,
libffi needs to follow suit. This ought to be made selectable via
a new abi value, and the #ifdefs removed from ffi.c along with many
other #ifdefs present there and in assembly. I'll do that with a
followup patch sometime.
This is a revised version of

fpr area and the parameter save area, necessary when the backend
doesn't know if a function argument corresponds to the ellipsis
arguments of a variadic function. This patch adds powerpc support for
variadic functions, and changes the code to only pass fp in the ABI
mandated area. ELFv2 needs this change since the parameter save area
may not exist there.
This also fixes two faulty tests that used a non-variadic function
cast to call a variadic function, and spuriously reasoned that this is
somehow necessary for static functions..
