Just a small annotation: I think the problem is the location of the "b"
definition. If I pull the definition of "b" out of the
function, the test case compiles. Looking at the asm-code, the place of
the definition (or whatever it exactly is) of b differs and if it's
below the inline asm code, it doesn't work.

 int i = 0;
 
-void foo() {
   static bool b;
+void foo() {
   if (! i)
     asm("movl %%esp, %0" : "=r" (i));
 }


Adding .pushsection and .popsection around the call does seem to fix it
as well.



Thanks,
Adam
