I have a memory mapped controller that requires that all of its
register reads and writes be 32 bits....the follow code:

*reg |= 0x80000000;

generates a byte OR (ORB instruction) which trashes the register with
gcc 2.9.2....a stupid "optimization" that happens to be wrong in this
case.

is there a declaration that will force the compiler to generate a 32bit 
OR (ORL instruction) on this?
