Yeah, I'd like to do something in this direction, similar to
what I did in
<URL:http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-11/msg00274.html>,
but I haven't found such a solution yet; just dummy calls.
Changing the code to a while loop means a rewrite, methinks:
again, the problem is that some older gcc *compile* it as a
while-loop / tail-recursion, while the code isn't. :-)
