Sorry, but if I have to object.

Adding this warning to -Wall is too quickly and will bring the ia64, tilegx and mep ports into trouble.
Each of them invokes some special semantics for basic asm:

mep: mep_interrupt_saved_reg looks for ASM_INPUT in the body, and saves different registers if found.

tilegx:  They never wrap {} around inline asm. But extended asm, are handled differently, probably automatically surrounded by braces.

ia64:  ASM_INPUT emits stop-bits.  extended asm does not the same.  That was already mentioned by Segher.
