Hi Tristan,

> This will generalise attributes used by some architectures (ppc, arm), won't it ?

Yes.  Or at least it would if implemented as currently proposed.  Maybe a better
solution would be to only record attributes where they are not already covered by 
some target specific solution.

Personally I would prefer a nice, generalised solution, but the current target 
specific attributes are mandated by the particular ABIs and so presumably are not
going to go away.

Cheers
  Nick
