From a very quick look on google, ARM seems to need r10 as PIC
register, and at least some TRANSFORM_* macros assign variables to r10
explicitely.

Why isn't 'register FFTSample x' enough?

Attached patch remove explicit naming of registers, and is also updated
to Tremor svn. I just tried a build on x86 but not on ARM.

Can you see if it works?

You could post the preprocessed source, output of gcc -E and gcc -S,
