Comment(by nmentley):

 Thanks, for the comments!

 Sorry about the delay on working on this, I've been finish up finals and
 moving off campus. Also, I'm not exactly sure where I should be asking
 development questions like this... so if this is the wrong spot let me
 know and I'll try to avoid making this mistake again.

 The comments were extremely helpful, but I do have a question or two. I'm
 curious what the most effective way would be to test the toolchain.

 I also happen to be a bit lost on the (arch)/signal.h header. I've been
 looking at the i386 signal.h as an example, but I am a bit confused.
 In vregs the ebx register isn't even referenced and I'm not exactly sure
 what purpose _reserved_1 and _reserved_3 serve.

 looking at the arm port vregs just lists the general purpose registers...
 so that's what I currently have for x86_64, but I feel like I should have
 a better understanding of the i386 file to list the sse and the mmx
 registers.

 Thanks
