Interesting matter! I have checked the Platform SDK headers, and it 
really is fastcall convention. I haven't tested cleanly, but it seems 
that what is described in [1], is setting aliases, fixes this.

As it is mostly used to open sockets, I guess it is not used that 
frequently. Therefore, I wasn't able so far to use that much Pan CVS to 
cause any problem.

I shall watch how it evolves. I hope I will have to rebuild from CVS 
only glib's libs.
