1. add support for configure to set some #define/undef OMIT_FRAME_POINTER 
2. and then disable the asm in cabac.h if the frame pointer isnt omited
3. send us a patch :)
or
1. change the asm so it requires one register less
2. benchmark (then goto 1 if its slower)
3. send patch

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
