If glibc and gcc don't work and play well together, it is a bug.
glibc is supposed to be the GNU C library and GCC is supposed to be
the GNU compiler suite.
If glibc's inline assembly is worse code than GCC produces itself,
this is a glibc bug and should be reported as such. Let's not assume
we get pushback from the glibc people until we actually do.
