Also: I've never been able to write a C++ (cfront2.1) function that
takes a vararg (...) parameter and works on a sparc.  The prototype
that Sun gives won't work right with cfront, and the prototype cfront
gives won't work.

The problem is that the arguments to the function aren't on the stack
- they're in registers, which is common in RISC machines.
