Hi Art,

I wrote it. It seems sizeof(void*) is 8 and not 4 in gcc for amd64 (and 
for alpha).
I read  the patch, but I'd like to understand if the goal is simply 
protecting the value 4 from becoming 8 in 64-bit compilers, or makeing 
it independent of it.
What is more needed in the future? I used sizeof (void*) to express the 
size of the minimum stack size item. Now that 64-bit processors are out 
it is clearly wrong.
I can extend the little tool to generate the table for win32k with and 
extra parameter to change the size of that factor (used to compute the 
actual size of the stack allocated for a _stdcall entry point and 
therefore the number to be appended to decorate its name). Could that 
new parameter depend on the config of the build?
