Here are my guesses:

*1* I don't think it's a good idea to use `::' anywhere except for method
    declarations in C++. Did you try inserting a space or a newline in
    between?

*2* I've noticed, that in C asm ("movl $1, %eax") works if you don't use
    %0-type operands. In C++ the above does not work, you *must* precede
    a register with double-%, i.e. asm ("movl $1, %%eax");

*3* GCC *never* generates code that messes with segment registers (except
    for inline farptr functions), so it does not need to know about them.
    Restore them yourself if you clobber them.

That's all I can say, hope this helps.
