Yeah, I was a bit worried about that. Gcc sometimes does insane things.

We literally just tested that the asm should only _ever_ be generated with 
a constant value, but if some gcc dead-code removal thing doesn't work, it 
will then screw up and try to generate the asm even for a non-constant 
thing.

The fairly trivial fix is probably to just change the "i" to "ir", safe in 
the knowledge that any _sane_ case will never use the "r" possibility. I 
suspect even your insane case will end up then killing the bad choice 
later.
