Anton,
   My understanding is that DWARF2_FRAME_REG_OUT existed on darwin 
because the register 4 (EBP) and register 5 (ESP) got swapped long ago
and that macro existed because the eh_frame register numbering and the
DWARF debug info registering numbering were different for those two.
Was this issue FSF gcc specific or in the standards themselves?
