I don't think this is going to change, sorry.

I even have plans to make GCC always use a 128 byte stack frame unless
varargs are being used, via a special GCC command line option like
-mkernel or similar.

There is no reason to pop arguments into that argument save area in
the stack frame, unless varargs are being used.

This is assuming I understand what you're talking about. :-)
