Well in fact, it does. It's severely limited, however: Structs must have 1, 2
or 4 bytes, and currently only functions written in assembler can return
structs.
Adding support for passing structs by value wouldn't be too difficult. Struct
return (aprt from the above) needs much more work, because the caller has to
allocate stack space for the returned struct and must cleanup after use.

The standard does not require a "double" to have 64 bit, and it does not
require a "double" to cover a greater numeric range than a "float". Which
means that one 32 bit floating point type could be used for both. 32 bit IEEE
floating point support should be less than 5K, I think (which is still a lot,
but not really bad).
