I sure as heck did read this. It is the problem.
Every time I read that, I am annoyed that gcc
does not take advantage of the "system headers"
concept to make things work OK.
The mingw32 example in Comment #7 has a defect. System headers do not
always come from one single supplier. On a typical Linux system, there
are header files from numerous packages installed in /usr/include.
There is no reasonable way to get them all marked up with the ABI.
This would be a fine interface:
gcc -mregparm-app-only=3 ...
(likewise for -mrtd as -mrtd-app-only, etc.)
