I'm 99% sure Motorola ported their SVR4 to mvme88k, and if we're going
to go ELF I strongly suggest we use whichever calling convention they
did.

One would hope that Data General's "SVR4" (DG/UX) also did the same
thing Motorola did, but gosh, why do I suspect we have one of those
cases here where one "SVR4" for a given architecture can't run the
other "SVR4"'s binaries? :-)
