Another side effect is function with more that four arguments. It won't
work if LLVM/VC++ code is mixed. That's again because of abscence of
32-byte gap between stack top and arguments.

E.g.:
int main () {
	printf ( "%d %d %d %d\n", 1, 2, 3, 4 );
	return 0;
}

Output:
1 2 3 0

Any ideas on how hard would it be to fix?
