Making dynamic debug use jump labels should be enough to achieve this.

That used to actually be the case, but got reverted later, as it didn't 
properly handle gccs that didn't support asm goto (see 2d75af2f2a7).

Once that is fixed to be more general and handle older gccs as well, your 
task is done :)
