Without insight into the CC65 sources, wouldn't it be possible to tell
the compiler that A, X and Y are return types of the function? For
example, the compiler might see this by seeing an RTI is put at the end,
or, as Magervalp suggested, by a modifier at the function declaration.

Just a shot in the dark,
