I would like to be able to force gcc to load a specific register
for me.  I thought that the code to do this would be:

        register volatile unsigned long base asm("#r14");

        base = (unsigned long)0x1000000;

(This is for a Motorola m88k processor.  Change the asm("...") to
a register appropriate for you system.)

gcc generates:
volasm.c:nn: warning: volatile register variables don't work as you might wish

Why is this message displayed?  Am I "doing the right thing" just that
gcc doesn't handle it yet?  Or is there another way to do what I want?
