See the FAQ, you gotta bind global variables to registers in the C
compiler.  In that case, you do want to create dummy variables you
aren't going to use in the C program itself but only in the assembler
portion.

However, keep in mind that the compiler-generated code will suck more
the less registers the compiler has available for optimization.
