slows down the case of larger dividends. inv20u assumes the case of a such
a small dividend to be unlikely, and inv20l assumes it to be likely.
+@item -maccumulate-outgoing-args
+@opindex maccumulate-outgoing-args
+Reserve space once for outgoing arguments in the function prologue rather
+than around each call. Generally beneficial for performance and size. Also
+needed for unwinding to avoid changing the stack frame around conditional code.
