Does gcc's inline asm support multi-alternative constraints? Or are
they only supported for md?
The fact that it is doc'ed with the other constraints
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Constraints.html) says it works for
inline. But https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10396#c17 says
it only works for md.
I've got a patch ready to remove this section from the non-md docs
(attached). But there probably needs to be more support than a 11 year
old comment to approve it.
Dropping a supported feature is always controversial. But if it doesn't
work, perhaps less so. After all, doc'ing something that doesn't work
is just as bad.

PS If it *is* supported, then the docs need some work.
