From the link at the bottom, there appears to be code for linux alpha. Since we use the same g++ compiler, and the same binary format, I suspect that the linux assembly code there should work. And it appears we're using it: <1:13pm>monet/gallatin:unix>pwd /usr/ports/www/mozilla-devel/work/mozilla/xpcom/reflect/xptcall/src/md/unix <1:13pm>monet/gallatin:unix>ls *.o xptcinvoke_linux_alpha.o xptcstubs_linux_alpha.o Are you saying that there's something different about the calling conventions that would make using the linux code as it stands incorrect?
