[m-users.] Mercury on ARM

[Sergey Khorev]

My 2 cents on asm_fast grade with shared objects. As far as I recall there
were different calling conventions in ARM Linux back in 2005. The code used
conventions from pdaXrom. If your distribution is different there might be
problems if you want to link Mercury libs dynamically.
