Sorry - I don't think I thought things through properly before asking the
question. As long as the code itself runs on any processor (ie the 32-bit
version) then I guess it doesn't really matter whether its call standard is
APCS-32 or APCS-R/32 because any code that has been compiled with a neutral
compiler (that calls an OSLib function) won't care whether OSLib preserves
flags or not.

That then makes me wonder what is the interaction make makes the version of
SharedCLibrary important? OSLib doesn't call it does it?!
