Thanks for the fix! testing it over night now, will let you know tomorrow
if problems remain.

I wonder if this is also related to several warnings I get about switch
tables like:

If you want to have a look, I can provide object files and/or reduced test
cases for this. My guess is that it is unrelated to the warnings that Nick
saw for asm-goto.
