Inline assembly code error: expression must be absolute ???


Hi,
I am in process of porting some inline asm instruction written in Intel to G4 Mac and encountering following problem in the code
 
Following is the Intel instruction:
__asm mov ecx, x
 
Below is the code for G4 Mac
////////////////////////////////////
unsigned long x, carry;

x = 20;

asm ("li %1,%0" : "=r" (carry) : "r" (x) );    //=======> Error


//asm ("li %0,10" : "=r" (carry));              //=====> this works fine

///////////////////////////

I am moving value of  "x" to "carry" but the compiler throws following error:

"Parameter error: _expression_ must be absolute (parameter 2)". But if i specify some values instead of passing x, the instruction works fine.

What can be the issue ? All suggestions/comments are welcome.

Regards,
