The 2.6.37 kernel may pose new challenges because it uses asm labels and local __label__ declarations. :)

That would be if we didn't have support for local labels. As of ten minutes ago, we do :).

Btw, a few days ago we found out that the jump label support code is broken in GCC, it messes up the stack offset which crashes the kernel.

So LLVM might be the first compiler on the planet to have working GCC jump label support ;-)
