I don't understand what "compliance with another implementation" means.

Why do you need the registers to be in the same order?  If you're trying to
represent them in some other structure, it seems to me you're entirely
free to move them around as you wish when constructing that other structure.

If you're using OS-dependent datatypes as internal representations in your
own code, that's a bug; you should fix it.
