I think you've demonstrated that there isn't an ideal way to write
this construct right now. ("memory" clobbers having their own
problems).
The next stage is to figure out (a) what the right notation is, and
(b) what needs to be done in GCC to make it work. I cannot tell
whether the semantics of "m" should change, or whether new notation
should be introduced. For a starter, try changing "m" and see how far
you get.

Sorry, I do not know where this is happening.
