 <p>In LLVM 1.5, the X86 code generator is the only target that has been enhanced
 to support proper tail calls (other targets will be enhanced in future).
 Further, because this support was added very close to the release, it is

+<p>
+With fastcc on X86, the first two integer arguments are passed in EAX/EDX, the
+callee pops its arguments off the stack, and the argument area is always a
+multiple of 8 bytes in size.
