Please also say which exact gcc you are using.

Note, I've compiled it with current 4.5 branch and made the function
always_inline and still didn't see any issues in the *.optimized dump,
regs.eax after the inline asm has always been compared to the constant
that has been stored into regs.eax before the inline asm.
