    J.5.10 _The_asm_keyword_

    The 'asm' keyword may be used to insert assembly language directly
    into the translator output (6.8).  The most common implementation is
    via a statement of the form:

        asm ( 'character-string-literal' ) ;

my read is that the compiler *may* implement it as above, or it may use
something different.  Since GCC uses
    <asm keyword> ("character-string-literal" : <constraint> : <constraint> );
I guess they decided GCC isn't compatable with J.5.10.
