Opinions as to why FASTCALL breaks on one machine are welcome.

Could we get rid of FASTCALL? AFAIK the compiler should automatically 
choose the right calling convention?

It was a nop for some time because register parameters are always enabled
on i386 and AFAIK no other architectures ever used it. Some out of tree
trees some to disable register parameters though, but that's not 
really a concern.

You're right. It now makes even less sense why it was a PPC64 machine that
exhibited the problem. It should have made no difference at all.
