_9 and _19 are local labels generated by cem too keep track of things that do
not have an official label (like variables), string constants and branch
addresses for example. The problem is that these things should be local, and
the errormessage suggests that they are global.

The problem can be in cem/opt/cg or in asld. If in any of the .s files, _9 and
_19 are defined as global, cem is the troublemaker. If not, asld somehow sees
globals where there are only locals.

the problem is probably in asld.
