Come to think of it, if all you need is a trivial function, don't use
compiler to produce one, just hardcode it in an array:

unsigned char code[] =
#if defined(__i386__)
{
  0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xaf, ...
}
#elif defined(...)
{
  /* ... */
}
...

That way you don't depend on compiler to produce self-contained code.
Since that trivial function is only a couple of instructions, and is
not likely to ever change, you just need to manually assemble it once.
