So I'm porting some legacy x86 assembly to work on MacTel. The assembly code uses 4-byte stack alignment, whereas GCC on Mac OS X uses 16-byte alignment. This becomes problematic in places where the assembly calls back into the C code.
Poking around the man pages, I noticed this useful-looking option:
-mstackrealign

I've filed a bug (#4585228) but in the meanwhile is there any way to coax GDB into behaving with -mstackrealign turned on? I'm using the Xcode 2.3 release.

Have you tried using wrappers that just re-align the stack and jump to your real C functions? If you did that, you could compile your C code without this option enabled, which might work better.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
