It's an issue with any architecture with a large number of registers
which aren't automatically saved by hardware (and a C ABI that makes
some of them non-volatile).

x86 has a small number of registers. ia64 automatically saves them (from
what I understand). So of the currently-supported architectures, yes,
that leaves PowerPC.
