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.... ;-)
