What is not at all funny is that, currently, we get
printf("%d", unsigned_long_value);

depending on the target endianness, and the way it handles var-adic
functions, this may just be the source of obscure bugs in some
cross-compilers.

I agree that having local labels be unsigned long is a bit silly, but
this is definitely not the main point here.
