Thanks for the report. I will try to reproduce the error here. So far I
have only tested with -Os.

I can reproduce the problem with -O0 here, it works as expected with
-O1. It seems to be a problem with the SWI-Number as parameter ("I"
swi_num) which gets handled differently with optimization enabled. If
you do not nead the SWI-Number as function parameter you might use an
extra function/macro per SWI-Number and hardcode the number in the
inline-assembler-code. The source-code of the macros in the example
show a possible method. I do not know enough about the gcc-internals
maybe you can get a "real" solution by asking in the GNUARM yahoo-group,
the codesourcery support-forum or the gcc-mailing-list.
