They _weren't_ listed in the AMD64 ABI: they are now :-)  Michael Matz
committed a patch to do this on Tuesday.  I don't think a new PDF's
been made since, but you can find the CVS archive on x86-64.org.

GCC won't use them because GCC never puts anything in those registers
that it emits debug or unwind data for, to the best of my knowledge.

Is there any active authority for the DWARF numbering on i386?
