Hello, I am not sure if I can help you but...

Having said that, the only target that I know about that uses different argument passing for methods and for functions is i686-mingw32 (MS Windows). If that is your case, make sure that the type of the function being called is METHOD_TYPE and not FUNCTION_TYPE (but that is actually good for consistency on any platform). Except for static methods, those are functions in gcc internals. If this does not help, you'll need to provide much more details about your whole setup. Martin
