Here's a patch.  Atleast on MIPS %c means something else so I had to
ifdef it for ARM:

Subject: [PATCH] jump label: detect %c support for ARM

Some versions of ARM GCC don't support the %c specifier fully, but do
support asm goto.  Since we need the %c to support jump labels on ARM,
detect that too in the asm goto detection script to avoid build errors
with these versions.
