Hi,

The attached patch uses __asm__ () instead of asm () to map the long double 
functions as this doesn't pollute the name space and prevents compiler errors, 
e.g. if build with -std=c99.

This patch has also being discussed as part of another thread starting with: 
http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2009/msg00303.html.

Regards
Ken
