Comment (by glaubitz):

 Replying to [comment:11 trommler]:
 > That's exactly the problem. The inline assembly is there and used even
 when "--enable-unregisterised" > BTW `StgCRunAsm.S` should not matter in
 your case at all. It has code only for AIX and PowerPC 64-bit Little
 Endian. It does not, however, handle `USE_MINIINTERPRETER` which is
 incorrect on AIX and 64-bit LE. I will post a patch for `StgCRunAsm.S` on
 Phab shortly.

 Hmm, you're right. I was pretty though I was building with --enable-
 unregisterised. I will recheck the issue and report back. But, please bear
 with me as building on the embedded system takes some time with an
 unregisterised build.
