 Hmm, not really "confused by earlier errors, bailing out" means that
 compiler segfaulted.  It is different failure - the reg-stack is not
 really good at dealing with missformed asm constrains.  I believe I've
 sent a patch some time ago for similar problem, will try to dig it out,
 but probably next week - this week is bit too hectic for me.
