It depends on what you include, IIRC. libc/farptrgs.h should be used
in the library (and not sys/farptr.h).

This can be bug.

Nope. Decrement first and put pushed value where (e)sp points. (e)sp
points to the last value pushed.

It's possible you think of the value pushed by "push sp" where the
_value_ pushed differs bewteen <=286 and >=386.
