[Bug inline-asm/33932] miscalculation of asm labels with -g3

I agree with Steven that there are some cases (like -ffunction-sections) where
even popping back from the debug section after generating it doesn't work. 
However, I'm not sure that's a reason not to do it -- reducing the chances for
unexpected behavior is still progress.  This is a real "gotcha".

At the least, we should document the problem shown by this bug before closing
it.  There should be a warning to users that they must explicitly indicate the
section in which they want to place their "asm", by using an appropriate
".section" directive (or equivalent, depending on their choice of assembler and
operating system).  We should also explain whether this is required for local
asms, or only for those occurring at global scope.  That would at least clarify
our intent.
