Hi Philipp,

Some background information is available at
	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-02/msg00497.html

Interesting. You know you could probably achieve the same effect in the linker... It already has mechanisms in place for changing the code (search for "relax") and if you made the transformation in the linker you would not have to worry about assembler macros. Plus you would be able to transform code in libraries as well...

Cheers
  Nick
