Could you give the attched patch a try? I've been hit by this issue
via kbuild robot complaining about one of my patches which didn't
touch the asm stuff above.

I suspect the "=a" contraint of the outputs and "a" of the inputs
are the culprit. You could save me from having to search through
all the debian repos for a gcc showing that issue...
