I just checked all files in /usr/src/lib/msun/i387/.
The following functions are the only ones using stackspace in the i387
dir, the rest just uses the arguments directly:

ceil*(), floor*(), {,l}lrint*(), trunc*().

Of those, only the ceilf(),floorf() and truncf() used more than %esp was
lowered.

Ah, that explains.

Thanks a lot, Daniel and David, for your help and time today!
