 Hi - thank you for all your wonderful work!
 
     scole>  The ski loader "skiload" has almost exactly the same inline
     scole> assembly call for ssc(), but for whatever reason, (maybe
     scole> ssc() and ski_cons_putchar() are in different files?), the
     scole> ssc() function didn't get inlined and I/O worked fine.

 I am not in a position to look at this for a couple of weeks, I'm Cc:ing
 the port maintainer and wiz@ to alert them.
 
     scole>  So with this patch I claim there is enough to say the

 This is wonderful news! I will try it out in early June.
