On a so much register starved arch as i?86 is, reserving 4 registers as global register variables is very unwise thing to do, even if it had a small chance of compiling, the resulting code will be terrible (4 reserved by app, %esp reserved for stack pointer, %ebx reserved in PIC code and %ebp reserved when not omitting frame pointer or when using alloca/VLAs means 1 to 3 registers left for all the rest, plus i?86 is CISCy, so some instructions require certain fixed registers).
