The bug doesn't occur in 64-bit mode anyhow, only in 32-bit mode. Basically the bug is that the original code did not think anybody would use -mabi=ms in 32-bit mode. >> In 32-bit mode, I think the sysv and ms ABI are identical unless you use >> the -mrtd command line option. > > Can you point me at any definitive description of the differences > between the two ABIs?

I can tell you where the sysv ABI is defined (http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf, http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/x86_64-abi-0.95.pdf), but I don't know where the MS ABI is defined.
