I'm trying to integrate a chunk of gcc PowerPC assembler code into a CW
8 Mach-O project. I've tried two approaches, neither of which seem to
work. Has anyone else had more success than I have ?

(i) fix the syntax (by hand !) and put the code into an inline asm {}
function - this fails because CW complains that there aren't enough free
registers (despite teh fact that I'm only using about 12 GPR's)

(ii) assemble with gcc and try to link in the object file - the Mach-O
Importer barfs with an error about an unsupported relocation type or
some such

Surely it shouldn't be this hard to link is some very straightforward
asm functions, that already work with gcc ?
