without looking at the code I suspect it could be due to the fact that 
gcc 3.3 no longer allows multi-line string literals. So you can write 
things like

inline asm {
"some asm
some more asm
yet more asm"
}

you have to write:

inline asm {
"some asm"
"some more asm"
"yet more asm"
}

(can't remember exact notation off the top of my head, but you get the idea)
