According to the ABI specifications a minimal stack frame consists of a header and a minimum size parameter save area. We reserve the minimal size for each ABI. On PowerPC 64-bil Linux and AIX the parameter save area can accomodate up to eight parameters. So calls with eight parameters and fewer can be done without allocating a new stack frame and deallocating that stack frame after the call. On AIX one additional spill slot is available on the stack. Code size for all nofib benchmarks is 0.3 % smaller on powerpc64.
