Comment (by mkarcher):

 I can confirm your obvservation that on amd64, gcc 5.3.1 does indeed take
 the type of the function pointer into account when it decides whether the
 return value is in %eax (for int), %rax (for void*) or %xmm0 (for double).
 It's interesting that gcc doesn't do it on m68k.
