From: Romain Naour <romain.naour at gmail.com>

uClibc-ng don't build with gcc 9.1 [1] due to a new check that
"catch illegal asm constraint usage" [2].

gcc 9.1 print this error:
"invalid hard register usage between earlyclobber operand and input operand"

The asm constraint is present in uClibc since it support sparc (back in 2002)[3].

Note: There is no such constraint is Glibc counterpart code [4].

I did not fully analyze the asm code to understand why the constraint is present.
I lightly tested using qemu_sparc_ss10_defconfig.
Any help is welcome(Romain)
