I think setting TCG_TARGET_CALL_ALIGN_ARGS will
work only by fluke and in some cases. For TCI you need
to either:
 * really call each C function by its proper prototype
   (probably with something funky to pull this out of our
   existing macro definitions of helpers)
 * use libffi or some equivalent to get the calling convention
   right for you
