including NT-AMD64 or not? -
but PowerPC, MIPS, Alpha, Itanium and ARM?

interesting. What happens if I have a variable being kept in a register
like register int x? These registers would still need to be saved as
a prolog could never tell us (i.e. we would then again need a linked
list) ...

... and then if we have prologues we would not need to pin down
any word that could refer as a refany to the traced heap in our
locales area but only those which really do (The question is of
course what data is in these prologues and what data is not.).
