Well, I knew! ;-)

Am just back from dinner. Will try now...

OK. Here's one that turns all 'asm' and '__asm' into '__asm__'. Not many
of them, there was.

Note that we also must ensure that '__asm__' get redefined to 'asm' when
we're not using gcc, a-la:
| #if ! defined __GNUC__
| # define __asm__ asm
| #endif

No code for that in the patch, I'll leave that to someone else... :-/

On the other hand, do we really want to support such /oddities/? As far
as I know, uClibc builds only for Linux, right? And only with gcc?

Better sooner than later. :-)
