Hi
I have new few days to play with the regparmized libc code, so I would like
to know your opinions and if it does have chance to get into official distribution.

The largest problems are asm functions. Most of them are in the DPMI stubs.
I was thinking about changing the current asm macros to let generate functions
in both format and it seems to be impossible. So I believe that the easiest
way to fix them is to write replacements using asm statements. What do you
think about it? It this acceptable? If so I can do it.
gcc can be smart enought to generate code in the same quality I hope..
