Mohammad is correct, but Bruno's report is valid.  I should have
conditionalised those two lines.

Thanks.  Fixed.  But I would like to know what the other errors are
about.

The compiler on which this fails must be one of the rare ones where the
best dispatch is in fact switch.  Right now the only one like that I can
test is TCC, and even that only because (bizarrely) for TCC the
*difference* of the address of two labels is not a constant expression;
I could work around that and support direct threading on TCC as well,
which does support computed goto.
