We can't really do anything without a way to reproduce the problem.
We don't even know the source which generated this.  The naked
assembly code makes no sense if you can't see the source.

The fact that you I can't seem to build a stand-alone example is a
huge clue.  It tells me that the real problem may be elsewhere.  Did
you compile with -Wall?  Any warnings?
