+Subject: [PATCH] return: Fix PowerPC assembly
+
+The original assembly used suspicious syntax. However, due to the
+!defined(__OPTIMIZE__) guard this code was rarely built.
+
+There nothing to stop the compiler using r0 between the two asm blocks,
+which may have been the cause of the note mentioning it failed when
+build with optimisation enabled.
+
+Write a single asm statement that places the result in the given
+location.
+
+This builds for powerpc64le and passes tests.
