Ok, I've been pretty busy lately and this got pushed back on the todo
list. I finally got around to do some build-testing with a bunch of
compilers and -fcall-saved* seem to get accepted. I haven't stared at
their asm output though, yet:


command:
make CC=gcc-<version> HOSTCC=gcc-<version> -j4

compile stats (64bit only):

not ok:
- gcc-3.3 (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13):	OOM KILLER goes off, gcc-3.3 leak maybe

ok:
- gcc-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.4 20050314 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.3-13sarge1)
- gcc-4.1 (GCC) 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-27)
- gcc-4.3 (Debian 4.3.4-6) 4.3.4
- gcc (Debian 4.4.2-6) 4.4.2
- gcc (Debian 4.4.3-3) 4.4.3

- gcc-3.4.6 (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2 p1.6, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10)
- gcc-4.1.2 (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.3)

I'm attaching the versions of the patches I'm using. The first one by
PeterZ touches a bunch of arches and Andrew hasn't picked it up yet so
the question of getting the second (popcnt) patch to see wider testing
in some tree is still unresolved. Suggestions, ideas?

Thanks.
