Too bad it is not part of the ABI specification on any known platform, so if you call a library function compiled without this magic compiler you're totally screwed.

But an interesting research project, I'll grant you that.

There's a section in that link which details how they handle calls to libraries that aren't aware of what's going on. Sounds like it works just fine.
