+
+           Besides (obviously) AIX, this includes
+            Mac OS 9 and BeOS/PPC (may they rest in peace),
+                which use the 32-bit AIX ABI
+            powerpc64-linux,
+                which uses the 64-bit AIX ABI
+            and Darwin (Mac OS X),
+                which uses the same stack layout as AIX,
+                but no function descriptors.
+
+           The actual stack-frame shuffling is implemented out-of-line
+           in the function adjustorCode, in AdjustorAsm.S.
+           Here, we set up an AdjustorStub structure, which
+           is a function descriptor (on platforms that have function
+           descriptors) or a short piece of stub code (on Darwin) to call
+           adjustorCode with a pointer to the AdjustorStub struct loaded
+           into register r2.
+
+           One nice thing about this is that there is _no_ code generated at
+           runtime on the platforms that have function descriptors.
