you have it backward:

the idea was to change vfprintf, because, on some systems that do lazy
FP saves, the current vfprintf causes FP context to be saved/restored
even when no FP is actually _used_.

it's worth noting that on some systems (e.g. most m68k systems), you
CANNOT do lazy FP save and restore...


As i've said before: i'd like to see some numbers that indicate that
this is worthwhile.  I think i'd also like it to be reasonably shown
that saving registers when they're never touched isn't a compiler
bug.  8-)
