ok, it seems u missunderstood, the reason why the code is using MANGLE() 
instead of "m" to access some variables is because it didnt work the other 
way with some version of gcc, so it doesnt help if it compiles with ur gcc 
2.95.?, one or more of these asm statements will fail to compile or lead to 
incorrect code with some other gcc version, and theres also no reason why the 
problem should be fixed in this strange way anyway, the correct fix is to add 
attribute_used to the variables and define it to attribute((used)) if gcc 
supports it
