I personally consider that "feature" of gcc to be harder and more confusing than just writing the dam' assembly code, so I don't use it. I suspect the early clobber thing is where an intermediate result would be stored, so you wouldn't want to use it for anything that has other uses upcoming, like one of the inputs.
