This isn't immediately relevant, but I wanted to point out that the 
IA-64 assembler supports the concept of tags.  A tag is just like a 
label, except that it can't be used as the target of a branch.  Tags are 
thus useful for debug info since you can put tags in places where labels 
  aren't safe, like branch delay slots.  If we really need the debug 
info pointing to branch delay slots, we could add a similar concept to 
the sparc gas port.
