I briefly looked at the asm code. The register names are in Apple syntax (for Mac OS X), not ELF syntax (for BSD, Linux), but liboil passes options to gas(1) to enable the Apple names. I don't know why the asm is broken. I can see that the asm clobbers some registers like r11 without telling the compiler. If I ever find the problem, I would tell upstream. --George
