+/*
+ * code16gcc.h
+ *
+ * This file is -include'd when compiling 16-bit C code.
+ * Note: this asm() needs to be emitted before gcc omits any code.
+ * Depending on gcc version, this requires -fno-unit-at-a-time or
+ * -fno-toplevel-reorder.
+ *
+ * Hopefully gcc will eventually have a real -m16 option so we can
+ * drop this hack long term.
