I may misunderstand something here, but I thought you target sparc not x86.

It would be a speculative fix, which may not work.

Perhaps some functions can reveal how it works.

int test(int a, int b, char* c) {
retrun a + b + strlen(c);
}

Could you try this with various calling conventions and send me the assembly?
