elk has, or had, this. You need a small amount of tweaking somewhere
-- specifically you need to know how to copy an image of the stack
somewhere and then take such an image & copy it back onto the
stack. This is mildly hairy, but there isn't very much of it. As far
as I can see, the sparc version requires one asm statement (but
presumably there is stuff somewhere else to work out where the stack
starts and which direction it grows in &c.
