So by now you are saying that using "__volatile" in this case

am I supposed to tell the compiler that the inline assembler
alters the condition codes then, which it apparently needs to
know as it at shown to otherwise generate broken code even
when using a single __asm() for the istructions.

Using volatile is wrong in this and most cases.

Use "cc" when it isn't a style bug :-).  I guess this is on some CPUs
including sparc64 now, and in all new asms on i386.

What is the rule for "cc" being a style bug? In style(9) nothing is mentioned. The only sensible rule I can think of is "if the assembler code destroys the condition codes, add "cc" to the clobber list, so GCC is informed about this and can get the data depedencies right".
