While testing the ARM system emulation in QEMU I noticed that firefox
segfaults without the below change.

Seems that the inputs for the inline asm in XPTC_InvokeByIndex() in
xpcom/reflect/xptcall/src/md/unix/xptcinvoke_arm.cpp need an
additional memory input in order to prevent gcc from optimizing away
the initialization of the structure used by the asm.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Debian/sid for ARM
2. Install firefox (apt-get install firefox)
3. Try to start firefox (firefox)

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault, illegal instruction, etc. depending on what happens to be in the uninitialized memory used by the inline asm.

Expected Results:  
Firefox starts.

patch from reporter

this works,

"m" is memory_operand

memory_operand is kinda vaguely explained here:
http://landfill.mozilla.org/mxr-test/gcc-4.0.2/source/gcc/doc/gccint.info#10890

info about arm/thumb for it is here:
http://landfill.mozilla.org/mxr-test/gcc-4.0.2/source/gcc/config/arm/arm.md#3282

an example of use is here:
http://landfill.mozilla.org/mxr-test/gcc-4.0.2/source/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/arm-asm.c
