First, you must use the MANGLE macros in the asm code, otherwise it will
fail.
Secondly ICC ignores this attribute instead of giving an error, so it's
a compiler bug IMO and I think it's a bit too much code for working
around a compiler bug.
And lastly, does doing it this way have a real advantage over
--target=generic-linux (btw. the win32 loader can still be compiler with
this option ;-) )
