TAKE CARE!!! If you don't use -fomit-frame-pointer your code DON'T 
WORK!!! This because EBP is always used as stack pointer, also if you
declare this as clobbered: then if you modify EBP your local variable
offsets
is WrOnG!! 

Btw ES, DS, GS, FS, SS cannot be restored by the compiler. You must do
this
from yourself.....
