If we build lscpu as PIE, we currently get a build failure: lscpu.c: In function 'main': lscpu.c:333: error: can't find a register in class 'BREG' while reloading 'asm' lscpu.c:333: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints make[2]: *** [lscpu.o] Error 1 So we need a little bit of register shuffling to keep gcc happy.
