This is not a bug.
The produced assembly looks like:
       movl        8(%ebp), %edi # %1
       movl        12(%ebp), %esi# %2
       movl        0(%esi), %eax
       movl        4(%esi), %edx
       movl        (%ecx), %ebx# %3
       movl        (%eax), %ecx# %4

By the time the last statement happens, eax has already been clobbered.  You
never said you are clobber eax in the inline-asm so it chose the 4th operand as
being eax.  You were getting lucky in 3.4.6 with the inline-asm really,


I don't see why you don't use the __sync_* (or even better the __atomic_*)
builtins for doing the compare and swap?
