I believe you have made yourself abundantly clear (and btw, it's spelled
"atrocious").  You feel that GCC's inline assembly features are inherently
broken. However, judging from the response to this thread, or lack thereof,
there does not seem to be anyone here who shares your view.  Therefore, you
are wasting your time complaining about it in this forum.  Either find
somewhere else (this should not be construed as an invitation to begin a
similar flamewar on gnu.gcc.bug), or "fix" it yourself. 

Speaking of fixing things, your newsreader might be a good place to start.
Bogus e-mail addresses invite hostility even before one reads your remarks.

Have a nice day!
