paramstack

I need to rebuild my cross compiler tonight, there is an important powerpc patch I was unaware of, that AROS relies on. It allows control / forces all parameters in gcc to be passed on the stack rather than in registers.

The opposite of __fastcall I guess. Tonight I begin the length process of rebuilding the cross compiler. I may again just try and not use crosstool and build binutils/gcc on my own.

Oh, the pico-psu came today, so I can actually power the efika up.

Right now, the most confusing thing is making heads and tails of the AROS build system. AROS generates and copies a lot of the things it needs, so when it says ‘foo is missing’, and you can clearly see foo in one of the base directories, its hard to know which build rule did/didnt run etc.
