Yes...I took the suggestion to be that some character sequence is
reserved by gcc, so that when it appears in an asm, gcc knows it can
turn it into a line break in the assembler output.

Hmm, what does \n do in an asm?  Perhaps that's the Right Answer:

	asm("ld [%1],%0\n mfpsr %2\n frob %2,%0\n st %2,[%1]" : ...)

If it isn't, perhaps it should be. :-)
