To obtain the label address could be somthing like "mov #MyLabel, %<n>"
or "mov $MyLabel, %<n>" with <n> the output parameter number where you
get the result like : "=g" (MyLabelAddressVar).

To call a label from C code can be done using
	goto *MyLabelAddressVar
I think that is a C Extension feature of gcc... You cold also pass the
value to another assembler block to do the trick, but that would be
architectural dependent some way...
	"jmp *%0"
	:
	: "r" (MyLabelAddressVar)
