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.

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.
