Just a clarification:

%R2 is not *wrong* -- it points to the right side of argument register 
2 (jda explained this in an earlier thread), but I am not 100% sure 
%R2 will do the right thing for a 32-bit build though -- if you are 
running on a pa1.1 machine and the register is only 32-bit, does %R2 
automatically do the right thing with 64-bit arguments?  I guess it's 
easy enough to tell by looking at the code gcc generates...

anyway, i think we should stick with the inline version of the code
too....

thx
