Yes, indeed.  So, it looks as if there is a gcc bug here.  Where are the 
calling conventions documented?  I couldn't find them in the gcc.ixx 
docs.  I think I ought to isolate this and submit a bug report, if gcc 
is indeed at fault.  I suppose a workaround would be to recompile libc, 
but then one wonders whether all the other libraries are also broken.
