I have trouble with inline asm in gcc. I try this:

typedef unsigned char byte;
void repstosd(byte *to,int len,int val){
    asm("rep; stosl"
        ::"a" (val),"D"(to),"c"(len)
        :"%edi","%ecx");
}

And the compiler answers with this:

inlines.c:5: Invalid `asm' statement:
inlines.c:5: fixed or forbidden register 2 (cx) was spilled for class
CREG.

Line 5 is the 'clobber list':"%edi","%ecx"); When i make it empty, 
the file compiles, but it does not work.
With Djgpp v2.01, this worked, but friday i downloaded the last
version (gcc --version = 2.952) from www.delorie.com, and this happened.
What went wrong? 

The previous version of djgpp is deleted, so i expect no trouble with versions
