code, and makes it possible to link code compiled with different
options to those used to compile libffi. For example, a
-mlong-double-128 libffi can be used with -mlong-double-64 code.
Using the return value area as a place to pass parameters wasn't such
a good idea, causing a failure of cls_ulonglong.c. I didn't see this
when running the mainline gcc libffi testsuite because that version of
the test is inferior to the upstreamm libffi test.
Using NUM_FPR_ARG_REGISTERS rather than NUM_FPR_ARG_REGISTERS64 meant
that a parameter save area could be allocated before it was strictly
necessary. Wrong but harmless. Found when splitting apart ffi.c
into 32-bit and 64-bit support.
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.
