Code explanation

Can somebody explain why this code outputs what it does?

// tested with Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Xeon
// tested with gcc4.1.2 gcc4.4.3 and gcc4.6.1
// compile with: gcc -O0 -m32

Not sure if troll, but
>what is the output of this code WHEN COMPILED WITH GCC AND RAN ON AN INTEL ARCHITECTURE
It is kind of implicit in the question.
