   Wow, how lucky I am that I only occasinally have to do this stuff.
   BTW, is it documented somewhere ? I would be able to fiure it 
   out on my own in year.

Forward and backward labels are documented in the gas manual.  I don't
think dollar labels are documented.

The use of $ as an immediate prefix in i386 code, and the way to use
the ljmpl instruction with gas, is documented in the gas manual, in
the i386 specific section on the AT&T syntax implemented by gas.

It's hard to know where to look, though.
