Bert contributed patches that *should* do the right thing for all the unixish-x86
versions of this code for GCC 2.7 or 2.8 vs. EGCS 1.1. He notes that the vtbl
scheme is different. He is hoping that others will help test the changes using
these two compilers on the various platforms where this same code is used.

Enclosed is xptcall for alpha/nt target..
<p>
It is a variation of the IRIS port (only targeted for win32).
<p>
Notice the last 2 files (the change to mozilla\xpcom\build\makefile.win and
mozilla\xpcom\build) are needed because I was unable to figure how to do a
"declspecexport" from the assembler ASAXP ... if some knows how to do that then
those last 2 files won't be needed.
<p>
I have had someone look over this code at bridge.com (the entry point to
compaq/gem compiler team) and this code was given the OK. I consider it "done".
<p>
This code lives in the files where the name includes 'alpha' in the <a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpcom/reflect/xptcall/src/md/win32">win32</a> directory.<BR>

I am attaching a patch which contains my Linux Alpha xptcall code.
It passes TestXPTCInvoke and TestXPC on my machine which runs
kernel 2.2.7, glibc 2.1.1, and egcs 1.1.2. I have not tested it
with older GNU compilers such as gcc 2.8.x. From looking at the
Linux x86 code, I gather that the vtable layout is a little different
for those compilers and the code will need minor modifications
in order to work properly.
<p>
I am not sure how much of the code can be used for OpenVMS Alpha
and/or Digital UNIX. Currently the code is dependent on the g++
name mangling convention and a few GNU extensions so I'm not sure
how useful it will be for the other systems. Hopefully the
comments in the code are detailed enough to help people attempting
a port.
