I made an error here, the "$" should be removed (see Thomas' mail)

That's correct, it is not possible inline assembler statements in FPC.  
You can try a macro instead:

{$macro on}
{$define IReallyKnowWhatIAmDoing:=asm .byte 0x1f, 0xef, 0x1a end}

begin
   IReallyKnowWhatIAmDoing;
end.

You will have to declare the macro in a common include file or in  
every main source file if you want to use it in more than one  
compilation module though.
