Gcc has a tradition of misscompiling the previous construct using the
address of a label as argument to inline assembler. Gas otoh has the
annoying difference between la and dla which are only usable for 32-bit
rsp. 64-bit code, so can't be used without conditional compilation.
The alterantive is switching the assembler to 64-bit code which happens
to work right even for 32-bit code ...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
