LSB was merely the umbrella bringing together a bunch of pre-existing standards for use in Linux. I believe the ABI in question was done in 1997. Is it your position that gcc predates this standard, and follows it in every aspect save stack alignment by pure chance? You are correct that I do not have all the history of gcc at my fingertips, but I rather suspect you do not as well. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38496
