Sure.  However it is best to _understand_ why such things may apparently 
fix things.  In this case it would have been by accident, and the code 
could be broken again with a different gcc version.

Adding "cc" in the clobber list is needed only when the asm code is 
modifying the condition flags.

I'd suggest you look at the disassembly difference with and without it. 
My guess is that the whole thing gets optimized away as there is no 
dependencies to be dependent on, in which case the proper fix would be 
to mark it with "volatile".
