How can one do inline assembler under Sys5?

[Jeff Bowles]

If you have certain releases of the System V compiler, you have
extended assembler statements. The following is documented in the
paging "C Compilation System" release notes for the 3B2, I think,
and hasn't made it into other docs yet. It's the same mechanism
you'll find in /usr/include/sys/inline.h on many V.3 releases.

It's useful to inspect the output ("cc -S") - you'll notice that you
can generate certain sequences if the argument is in a register
(or constant or memory) and the like.
