[PATCHv2 6/6] ARM: add jump label support

Sat Jan 28 08:35:25 EST 2012


Add the arch-specific code to support jump labels for ARM and Thumb-2.

The option will only be available on compilers that are capable of
building it.  It has been tested with GCC 4.6 patched with the patch
from GCC bug 48637.
