Aye, there's the rub. Nobody's happier modifying Psyco. :)  But that
just means people will gradually have to stop using psyco in favor of
maintainable JITs. Gcc's not going to change its stack requirements
just because some people think they know what the ABI should be better
than the people defining the ABI. Btw, this has been a problem since
at least gcc-4.4.
