No, this asm statement clobbers fp (or appears to):

extern __inline__ l4_threadid_t l4_myself(void)
{
    l4_threadid_t id;

    asm volatile
      (
             " stmdb sp!, {fp} \n"
       "	mov	r0, %2					\n"
       "	mov	lr, pc					\n"
       "	mov	pc, %1					\n"
       "	mov	%0, r1					\n"
             " ldmia sp!, {fp} \n"
       :"=r" (id)
       :"i" ((-0x00000008-8)),
       "i" (((l4_threadid_t) { raw : 0 }).raw)
       :"r1", "r2", "r3", "r4", "r5", "r6", "r7", "r8", "r9",
       "r10", "r11", "r12", "r14", "memory");

    return id;
}

This *will* confuse the compiler.
