Oh, actually, I'm wrong on this.
We don't need an output from the asm (the output ends up being in the
targets), so we can use the old-style asm goto that we've been relying
on for a long time.
So the main code generation problem is just (a) all the architectures
and (b) we'd have to use a fixed conditional against zero.
