- refactored arm calling conventions' callvm code, so that the code that keeps the caller from overwriting the return value on some platforms also works on OpenBSD (before we casted the function pointer to have long long as return type, to hint the caller that there is one, but that triggers an intentional SIGABRT on OpenBSD for security reasons; now the decl reflects this, directly)

  on shell.
  

usage:

  suite         	        - run full range
  suite <id> 			- run test id <id>
  suite <from> <to>		- run test id <from> to id <to> (inclusive).

description:

  the test invokes 'void'-functions that effectively overwrite global 
  variables in a structured way.
  
  functions are identified by an id (a number starting at 0).
  
  the implementation of each function does
  
    sets the gID to its id (which is compiled in) 
  
    sets all arguments into type-specific value vectors at the given position
