Unfortunately, that requires a coordinated change with the compilers and
some RTLs (including math library).  COMPLEX*16 (a struct with two 
REAL*8 fields) returns in a pair of floating registers in the calling conventions
on x86.  On Alpha/Itanium, such a struct returns in a hidden argument. 

It is high on the list after we roll out the rest of the compilers, revise manuals,
etc.
