Some versions of ARM GCC which do support asm goto, have problems
handling the the %c specifier. ?Since we need the %c to support jump
labels on ARM, detect that too in the asm goto detection script to avoid
build errors with these versions.

Could you please ack this patch if it's OK for you?  Then I could try to
send it via rmk's ARM patch system along with the rest of the series.

Thanks.
