volatile unknown in templates, egcs-1.1

[Marc Lehmann <pcg at goof dot com>]

With egcs-1.1, I can't compile this program:

template<typename a>         
struct x        
{       
   int y(a n) {
      __asm__ __volatile__ ("");
   }
};   
  

int main()                     
{
        x<int> a;
        a.y(5);
}


cerebro:~# g++ -V1.1 -O6 -o x x.C
x.C: In method 'int x<int>::y<int>(int)':
x.C:13:   instantiated from here
x.C:5: 'volatile' undeclared (first use this function)
x.C:5: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
x.C:5: for each function it appears in.)
x.C:5: warning:  qualifier ignored on asm

asm volatile evokes the exact same message. for example, this means you
can't use ntohl in templates with glibc2 ;)
