   DynCall Call Kernel for ARM 32-bit ARM Architecture
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   C Interface:
     dcCall_arm32_arm(DCpointer target, DCpointer argv, DCsize size);

   This Call Kernel works across multiple OS.
   It has been tested on Nintendo DS, Linux and Darwin(iOS).
