Got it. Must insert some sort of glue if you call a method declared AMODE 31. I 
wonder how it handles data areas in that situation. I wonder if you have to 
malloc31() if you are going to pass the data to a 31-bit method. What about C++ 
new? Perhaps you cannot pass classes to non-clang/LLVM programs, and they are 
all AMODE 64. I guess that would be okay.

Still would like to RTFM. I guess I am a dinosaur.

Didn't say it ran in AMODE 31.  Said it can call AMODE 31 programs.
