That is absolutely a possibility, if I only knew where to look :-) I found this
documentation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Asm-Labels.html#Asm-Labels

but I see nothing in the documentation to indicate that it has any utility for
a typedef. 

Thanks for engaging with me on this! I am going to attach the patch to an email
to the dev list. Thanks again!
