I know host ABI's can differ like that, but I don't understand why
that should matter. Everything (TCG compiler included) is compiled
with the same way, right? For the host arch.
Or is that a host ABI vs guest ABI thing? Though I don't understand
why that would matter either. All this is stuff that runs on the host,
right? Oh or does it have to do with JIT'ted tcg helper functions
where ABI would matter?

No real need to explain, I'm just curious.
