The gcc manual states :

        On the Sparc, GNU CC uses an incompatible calling convention for
        structures.  It passes them by including their contents in the argument
        list, whereas the standard compiler passes them effectively by
        reference.
        This really ought to be fixed, but such calling conventions are not yet
        supported in GNU CC, so it isn't straightforward to fix it.

        The convention for structure returning is also incompatible, and
        `-fpcc-struct-return' does not help.


are there any plans for fixing this ? if so, when is it due for
release. could some kind soul at FSF respond ?

thanks
