The implementation was discussed in the thread starting at
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-06/msg00932.html>.  This mentioned
ASM_OUTPUT_* as examples of what should be converted, based on perceived
consensus, e.g.
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-05/msg01345.html> and
followups.

It has been impossible for several months simply to work out what the
interface of ASM_OUTPUT_INTERNAL_LABEL is supposed to be.  With a function
in the target structure and a documented prototype, this ambiguity cannot
arise.
