Are you sure?
I've not got the x86 object, but the x86-64 version caches the 16 x[]
values (from the parameter) in registers.
The 32 bit cpu doesn't have enough registers, but gcc tends to
compile assuming an infinite number.
So it may have spilled lots of virtual registers to different
stack locations - instead of writing the values to their 'target'
address.
