--- Comment #75 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
There is linker support, that was step one, had to be. After ld, it made sense
to finish the binutils job.

The macros I wrote did most of the job. Adding more syntactic sugar turns out
to be really quite difficult because of some hard assumptions in the general
code in gas, which can be overridden but only at the cost of duplicating *lots*
of code in the backend.

Thinking of auto-creating labels, though, I think I have figured out a
not-too-painful way of doing so.
