Of course it is. It’s a function with an undetermined number of
(int-promoted, but using the KNR C rules) arguments, not a
function whose prototype makes it variadic.

But you can use __attribute__((__regparm__ (0), __cdecl__)) to
force standard calling conventions. (From when I played with
-mregparm in 2013, both, and in that order, were occasionally
needed. Sorry I don’t recall any details.)
