(code may not be portable to all Sparc systems, OpenBSD might not execute
code on the stack, etc). Also, it's a problem in terms of code
readability.
A patch to try to start addressing some of this in a simple way was posted
to the parrot-dev list in Februrary 2009
[http://lists.parrot.org/pipermail/parrot-dev/2009-February/001269.html].
I don't recall ever hearing whether it helped on OpenBSD or not. (There
might be some minor cc vs. gcc changes, and some tweaks to the __sparc
defines that would need to be applied as well, but lacking any feedback, I
didn't pursue it.
