Inline Assembly

I have to figure out how inline assembly works in Sun's C Compiler as opposed to the GNU C compiler. There is some assembly code which has to be ported (basically the magic instructions for stuff like compare-and-swap, activating SLE, etc...).

The reason why I'd like to get it working with Sun's CC is because the environment we're using is a Sun SPARC machine - so it seems only reasonable to use Sun's own C compiler to do the trick since it should be optimised for their architecture.

Moreover, I got the Bohm-Weisser Garbage Collector working on Sun's C compiler, and it seems that it would be a hassle to build the collector using GCC under Solaris.
