Hi again.

Well, since there were no replies to my previous post, I take it that there are no objections to the suggestion that r2 should be used as the closure pointer instead of r11 in the Linux/PPC64 closures, for increased portability?

Thanks for this patch, Marcus.

I makes sense to me. I'm running it past the original author of libffi's ppc64 linux port for comment.

Hence, I'm attaching a patch to make that change.  With this patch,
libffi closures work fine with IBM JDK 1.6.0.1.  This patch is against
libffi-3.0.4, but I expect it to apply cleanly to HEAD as well.
