I was thinking that you could add the label after the trap and
then use '.long 1b-4'. But you'd have to put the asm outside the
conditional - so that wouldn't work if the condition was more
complicated and the trap had to be out of line.
If the trap is out of line, then it could be a long way from
the surrounding code block - so a label 'nearby' in the C isn't
any use.
With fix sized instructions the .text segment of the object files
could be scanned for trap instructions.
