Well, we fixed the case that was discussed at the time [1].
I'm not exactly convinced about removing the register keywords in
s_lock.h. Those are all associated with asm blocks, which are already
extremely C/GCC specific; complaining that the register declarations
aren't portable seems to be missing the forest for the trees.
BTW, grepping my local tree says that plperl/ppport.h also has some
register variables, which is something we have no control over.
