I use your way to compile test case:
llvm-install/bin/clang constraints.c -o constraints.ll -emit-llvm -O3
-S -target mipsel-unknown-linux -std=gnu89 --sysroot
/Users/jia/project/Cross-SDK/sdk/mipsel-gnu-rootfs
llvm-install/bin/llc constraints.ll -o constraints.llc.s
-mcpu=mips32r2 -march=mipsel -filetype=asm
llvm-install/bin/llc constraints.ll -o constraints.o -mcpu=mips32r2
-march=mipsel -filetype=obj
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -mips32r2 -O3 -EL -fPIC -static -o
constraints.exe constraints.o

the inline-asm is:
	#APP
	lw $5, 0($1)
	#NO_APP

	#APP
	lw $5, 0($1)
	#NO_APP

	#APP
	lwl $5, 1 + 0($1)
	lwr $5, 2 + 0($1)	
	#NO_APP

It use different registers, but $1, that is $AT, cann't be used, it is
reserved for $AS using.
any ideas?
