R2000 stack alignment question

[Jack Jansen]

After some hours of digging through assembly code I've finally found out
that varargs.h depends on the stack being aligned to an 8-byte boundary,
and the C compiler does its utmost to keep it like that (unlike me).

Could anyone in the know tell me whether this deduction is correct, and,
if so, where this is documented? I would expect this to be in the
'linkage convention' of the Kane book, but it isn't there (or, at
least, I couldn't find it...)
