I have some hand-written assembler (68k) that uses a numeric 'local'
label, and a refernce to it.  Sample below:
--------------------------------------------------------
Line#  0124         ..
Line#  0125         ..
Line#  0126         subl    #_edata,d0
Line#  0127         lsrl    #2,d0
Line#  0128 1:      clrl    a0@+
Line#  0129         dbra    d0, 1b
Line#  0130         ..
Line#  0131         ..
-------------------------------------------------------XXX
Actual command line was:

make
cc -x assembler-with-cpp -traditional-cpp -D_LOCORE -I. -I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -DM68030
 -DFPCOPROC -DCC130 -DTIMEZONE="0" -DDST="0" -DDDB -DFFS -DSYSVSEM -DSYSVMSG -DSYSVSHM -DKTRACE
 -DCOMPAT_43 -DFIFO -DDEVPAGER -DSWAPPAGER -DCOMPAT_SUNOS -D_KERNEL -Dcc130 -c ../../cc130/locore.s
./../cc130/locore.s: Assembler messages:
./../cc130/locore.s:128: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `1'.   <---- :(
./../cc130/locore.s:129: Error: parse error -- statement `dbra d0,1b' ignored           <---- :(
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------XXX

I've scanned (not exhaustively) the Changelog (and Changelog.1), NOTES, NEWS...practically
everywhere and can't find a thing about this error.

The CYGNUS On-line Technical Reference (which by the way is EXCELLENT!) affirms that local
numeric labels 1...9 followed by a ":" in the form N: is OK and only states that the current
'C' compiler doesn't emit these guys.

These local numeric lables have been around for a while, and worked just fine under the
1.92-ish assembler. Now......

What gives?
