I see your point, but the colon also acts as a delimiter between different parts
of the inline assembler statement; parts that are there explicitly for the
compiler's benefit.  I think the compiler should be able to tokenize this
statement without regard to whitespace.  I'll ask on the gcc list, cause I'm
curious what the correct answer is.
