Hmm, that's interesting, but does it work for inline asm() statements?
The argument is essentially a free-form string (with some
substitution), and the compiler cannot know how many bytes they occupy.

Is there a way to set ADJUST_INSN_LENGTH in the asm() statement? Of
course, that would have to be inserted manually as some sort of
argument to asm() in the C code being compiled...

And yes, that would work for me if it is implemented.
