No cigar (:-()

arch/x86/include/asm/xenomai/arith_32.h: In function 
‘__rthal_x86_nodiv_ullimd’:
arch/x86/include/asm/xenomai/arith_32.h:154:2: error: can't find a 
register in class ‘DIREG’ while reloading ‘asm’
arch/x86/include/asm/xenomai/arith_32.h:154:2: error: ‘asm’ operand has 
impossible constraints

Forcing compilation with optimizations besides -Os seems to work.

Agreed

What option is that?
