I haven't tried it myself, but gcc should be able to produce leaf
functions using 64 bit instructions on MacOS X 10.3 as well. The
processor doesn't actually run in 64 bit mode, still in 32 bit mode,
but most operations are 64 bit anyway (except memory addresses).


In this case, a leaf function would be enough.
