It wouldn't bother me at all if OUTPUT was in fact *not*
implemented as a target hook, but instead as a mere 
function that calls the GENERATE and ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL
hooks.  Any time we can eliminate the possibility for
mismatch like this seems like a Good Thing.

I don't see that using alloca here is effective at all.

I'd be in favour of the final GENERATE target hook taking a
length parameter for the buffer, and doing something like

	if (snprintf (buf, size, format, args) == -1)
	  abort ();

Or perhaps _define_ the input buffer to have some specific
length (e.g. MAX_INTERNAL_LABEL_LEN=64) and fix up all uses.
