  Argh.  Try hacking out the 'register' and '__asm ("%eax")' from the
declaration of the 'ret' variable on line 59.  Send me the generated thread.s
file offlist after finishing the build with --save-temps in the CFLAGS and
I'll check that the codegen is correct.

  (Haven't used 3.x to build the DLL in ages myself.)

    cheers,
