  Orca/m does have local labels, but you must specifically use the
pseudo-ops START and END to declare a segment of code whose labels are
local.

   e.g.

   LABEL1  START
           ....
   LOOP    ....
           END

   LABEL2  START
           ....
   LOOP    ....
           END

  It's a bit of a pain, but there it is.
