   I don't know the Sparc calling convention, but I suspect it is
   similar to the Misp R2000: [ ... description of how MIPS
   does not pass arguments ... ]

   Such a trick would not work if some parameters were passed in
   floating point registers.

Indeed, such a trick would not work, but this is not how MIPS varags
work.  In fact, MIPS does have a complicated scheme so that floating
point parameters *can* be passed in floating point registers.
