No, we dont do 64-bit only features really.

Please make jump labels configurable instead. (dependent on EMBEDDED)

Also, could you please send the fix to me ASAP? We dont need confirmation and 
re-confirmation and testing, as this thing is crashing on me several times every 
single day ...

I also know that 64-bit never crashed this way, nor did the 32-bit kernel with 
function tracer enabled - so -maccumulate-outgoing-args will likely fix it.

Lets get the ball rolling so we can get it to Linus today ...

Thanks,

	Ingo
