Hi Daniel,
thanks for the patch! Would it be a problem, if I would land it after the next pcre release? We focus on fixes now, and this is kind of a new feature.

What happens if _MSC_VER < 1400 (btw that is LARGE version number :P) Is there any 64 bit x86 support before 1400?
-#define SLJIT_CALL __stdcall
Your patch removes __stdcall which I think is necessary. Some x86/32 compilers use exotic ABIs, and this define helps detecting it. Btw, is the Intel C compiler works with defining its ABI type?
The other modifications seem ok.
About the sparc: I think you can just add an ifdef around the cache flush instruction, which is accepted by your compiler. (I hope you tried to compile it in 32 bit mode, since sparc64 is not yet supported.)
