You too ;)

OK, please see v2 below, I missed the unconditional "Place EIP in the arg1"
in thunk_32.S.

Seems to work at least on x86_64, but I do not know how to test, lets see
what HPA thinks.

_If_ this is correct, I should probably rebase it on top of Denys's
changes... Or, given that this patch is simple, perhaps Denys can take
this patch as 1/X. If correct ;)

Oleg.
