Literally inlined assembly is of course a problem short of building a new libc. (I thought inline assembly went out of fashion in the 90's?!?) The other option is to try to beat some sense into the libc implementations. Even the rumphijack implementation for NetBSD is version-specific, and that hasn't really been a problem in 4 years, so I wouldn't overly worry about it.
