I tend to think that these people are NOT using the options correctly.
They should have built their compiler to use a different ABI if that
is what the interfaces in their system header files require.
Another way to make things work:
gcc -mregparm-app=3 ...
That is, add new options which change the ABI only for local files.
The interfaces declared in the system headers would not be affected.
Imagine building gcc itself with regparm 3. You probably don't want
to mark up the gcc source to enable this, but marking up the system
header files is definitely not an option.
