The problem is that the stack is not aligned to 16 bytes. Changing to 
the code to this:

asmcode:
   sub rsp, 8
   call cagain
   add rsp, 8
   ret

Fixes the problem. It's probably better to just push/pop rbp as that is 
only one byte per instruction,
which will also align the stack for obvious reasons.

I believe that gcc on FreeBSD 8 wasn't as strict as clang is on 10 now.
