Unfortunately, we found a compiler bug in the implementation of
'asm goto'. The bug can cause the kernel to crash.
For now, we are disabling jump labels with a big hammer. When the
gcc fix is committed, we will update the kernel with a better check
for either the version number it's fix in, or some detection of
whether gcc has the fix in place.
