I'm trying to avoid having to go and audit every user of these macros,
and their users, and so on and so forth, to make sure I don't use
local labels that conflict with ones that they use.

This bug has already consumed my entire day, and I know that even
after I commit this fix I have sparc ULPs to update and other details
to attend to.

So I'm sticking with my intended fix, thanks.
