Well you were right Omer, removing the static did it. Thanks ;-)

GCC indeed supports #ident.
Alas, the info page says you have to define the ASM_OUT_IDENT macro as "A
C statement to output something to the assembler file to handle a #ident'
directive containing the text STRING" to use it, and then adds: "If this
macro is not defined, nothing is output for a `#ident' directive."
I am not men enough to do this ;-)
