For most of my real-mode x86 programming I use Open Watcom as it is one of the few (if only?) real-mode compilers that will run natively on Linux. Up until now, I've choked down the Watcom assembler as a necessity. But in order to stay with it, I need to find a solution to local labels. Does anyone know how to describe a local label in Watcom assembler? The GAS and NASM notations do not seem to work.
Also should I just bit the bullet and go with NASM instead? I have been reluctant as an Open Watcom install has a (sort of) perfectly good assembler with it. But I've seen other open source projects use the combination of NASM + Watcom C. And pitfall advice?
