Assembler errors in optimization level 3 (-O3) - gcc (4.1.2)

Dear All,

I have written an application where I used a few ASM statements in it.
The statements are very simple and they look like as shown below.

	asm
	(
		"next:\n\t"
#ifdef __x86_64__
		"pop %rax\n\t"
		"pop %rcx"		
#else
		"popl %eax\n\t"
		"popl %ecx"		
#endif
	);

      asm
	(
		"xorl %eax, %eax\n\t"
		"cpuid\n\t"
		"cmpl $4, %eax\n\t"		// check if cpuid
supports leaf 4
		"jl .single_core\n\t"		// Single core
		"movl $4, %eax\n\t"		
		"movl $0, %ecx\n\t"		// start with index = 0;
Leaf 4 reports
	);						// at least one
valid cache level
	asm
	(
		"cpuid"
		: "=a" (Regeax)
		:
		: "%ebx", "%ecx", "%edx"
	);		
	asm
	(
		"jmp .multi_core\n"
		".single_core:\n\t"
		"xor %eax, %eax\n"
		".multi_core:"
	);

I am able to compile the application in optimization level 2 (-O2) where
as when I specify the optimization level (-O3) I end up with the
following errors.

I have searched the google and did not find any solution. However, I
have gone through the following link and there is no much luck to me.

http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2005-July/003451.html

One thing, I can mention here is, I did update the packages through YUM
command only. The system configuration is as follows.

1) DELL 64 Bit - Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00 GHz
2) 1 GB RAM
3) Linux - CENTOS - 5.2 with default kernel version - 2.6.18-92.el5
4) gcc version 4.1.2 20071124

Please suggest me a solution to getridof from the above errors.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
