Thanks you.
I hit another blocking issue - inplementation of OP_OUTARG_VT. Different 
arches do it differently.
Is my understanding is correct - that I could pass it on stack for 
simplicity (like ia64 does), but the called
method should expect it on stack too. This kind of parameter is not 
expected to be passed to any natively
compiled methods (by gcc) (because by Alpha ABI upto 6 parameters are 
expected to be passed in registers).
So if the called method is compiled by jit I guess I have control over 
where to look for method parameters.

I got to the point of calling 
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers:InitializeArray(System.Array, 
intptr) and
crashing inside. Is there simpler way to check JIT? :) I am using 
compiled "basic.cs" as start point, but it tries to initialize
part of runtime (I guess) and it is not the simple one.

Thank you,
