Andreas' 2013-02-08 change reverted some breakage for struct return values from 2011-11-12, but in so doing reintroduced string instructions to sysv.S that are not supported on all powerpc variants. This patch properly copies the bounce buffer to destination in C code rather than in asm. I have tested this on powerpc64-linux, powerpc-linux and powerpc-freebsd. Well, the last on powerpc-linux by lying to configure with CC="gcc -m32 -msvr4-struct-return -mlong-double-64" \ CXX="g++ -m32 -msvr4-struct-return -mlong-double-64" \ /src/libffi-current/configure --build=powerpc-freebsd and then make && make CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \ RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-m32/-msvr4-struct-return/-mlong-double-64\ check
