 // Use a register argument for evacuate, if available.
-#if __GNUC__ >= 2
+// Earlier, the regparm attribute was used whenever __GNUC__ >= 2, but this
+// generated warnings on PPC. So the use is restricted further.
+// See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html that says
+//     regparm (number)
+//         On the Intel 386, the regparm attribute causes the compiler to pass
+//         arguments number one to number if they are of integral type in
+//         registers EAX, EDX, and ECX instead of on the stack. Functions that
+//         take a variable number of arguments will continue to be passed all of
+//         their arguments on the stack.
