By not compiling it for Darwin/i386, or by using a different definition of TPoint that is no longer 8 bytes. Anyway, I've committed a fix so that darwin/i386 and iphonesim/i386 now behave the same as other platforms as far as the function return location is concerned when not using cdecl/cppdecl/mwpascal calling conventions.
