The major part of it is that I mixed up Reentrance with Recursion there
... sorry for that.

OTOH, one does tend to influence the other.  Without recursion, one
would only really need reentrance to be able to call the same function
from separate threads of execution.  On controllers this small, that
would only happen if you're calling the same function from inside an
interrupt handler and the main loop.  And frankly: you really don't want
to do that.  If an ISR on this kind of hardware becomes big enough you
feel the need to split it into sub-functions, that almost certainly
means you've picked entirely the wrong tool for the job.

In other words: for this kind of system (very small, with rotten
stack-based addressing), not only doesn't everyone need re-entrant
functions, it's more like nobody does.

I don't think anyone has ever seriously claimed SDCC to be anywhere near
the pinnacle of compiler design for the 8051.  ;-P

Frankly, just looking at statements in this thread has me thinking that
the usual suspects among commercial offerings from 20 years ago might
still run circles around it today.

Well, given the gigantic scale differences between the target hardware
and the build host, just turning the whole thing into a single
compilation unit (by force, if necessary) should really be a no-brainer.
