This calling convention is AFAIK for PASM object code only. I would
just pass the object itself with your 'P' signature in P5,6,...

It should probably done only once. We have to sort interpreter->iglobals
into 2 such lists: per interpreter globals and global globals. When
that's done, interpreter init can check if the previous interpreter
already had the real globals and when yes, just sets a pointer to these.
The make_interpreter() should then be:
make_interpreter(prev_interpreter);
