That would be wrong.

I think the most likely explanation is that there's a bug in the
dwarf2 generator for stdcall functions with -fomit-frame-pointer,
and the problem should be attacked there.

If you've got a call that takes 12 bytes of arguments on the stack
and pop them on return, then the unwind info should look like

	# DW_CFA_GNU_args_size 12
	call foo
	# DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset <previous value - 12>
