Yes, but argument passing, especially for varargs functions, can be
highly compiler dependent, and you typically _need_ to use special
compiler hooks to implement it...

E.g. on the alpha, under the OSF/1 cc i'd have to use a special set of
hooks to tell the compiler what i was doing in my varargs macros, and
under gcc that set of hooks is a bit different.  nothing you can do
about that.  (For a while, in my NetBSD/Alpha tree, i had #ifdefs for
both, but they've since disappeared.  8-)
