Why would we want to do it separately?

The only reason I see is because the results of this test are assigned
to a variable called CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO and that is not an entirely
accurate name (on ARM) after the addition of this test.  If that's the
concern, perhaps this variable could just be renamed?
