When GDB calls a function it incorrectly pads the arguments - that is,
GDB's behavior differs from GCC and also from the x86 ABI at
http://www.sco.com/developer/devspecs
The change seems like a good idea to me, although I'd like to see it
done in the "gdbarch" way rather than by adding another ifdef to the
sources. Andrew C. should be able to help you with the details, if
the arch vector seems too mysterious still.
