21/* We need a special version of the `mcount' function since for ix86 it
22 must not clobber any register. This has several reasons:
23 - there is a bug in gcc as of version 2.7.2.2 which prohibits the
24 use of profiling together with nested functions
25 - the ELF `fixup' function uses GCC's regparm feature
26 - some (future) systems might want to pass parameters in registers. */
