Hmm,

Another think-o?  The arm (according to FP_REGISTER_RAW_SIZE) has 12 
byte registers.  Their type is builtin_type_arm_ext and that ``virtual 
type'' has a size of 12 bytes.

I suspect this is another hang-over from when Arm was converting RAW FP 
registers (badly) into host FP values.  Hmm, if that macro goes, it 
looks like all the ..._size() functions can be reduced to: 
TYPE_LENGTH(type).

(Back to looking at Arm's ON_STACK).

enjoy,
Andrew

Not sure.  It's more of the complete mess that is the FPA.  The world 
would be all so much easier if I could just rip out FPA support 
entirely.... ;-)
