Try compiling the program with `gcc -ansi`, and you'll see that "asm" and "volatile" are undeclared. The motivation for my patch comes from barrier() being declared differently in compiler-gcc.h. However, the tree is polluted with the non-ansi versions anyway; compilers will continue to support them for decades. So, I'd request you to drop the patch.
