Hi Segher,

Let me work on stand alone setup to show the problem.

Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Hon

(Use LANG=C or LC_ALL=C to not get those weird quotes, just like you would use this to get error messages that aren't translated, that the compiler developers can actually read :-) )

You need to show the full code of the asm_volatile_goto, and the declarations of everything used in its operands, for us to get a handle on what is going on here.  Bonus points if you manage to make a stand- alone compilable testcase that shows the problem.

GL;HF,
