Fix a crash when generating forward jumps to labels at very high assembly offsets

The first jump to a specific label was marked as jump to absolute
position -4. This value was stored in the assembly as a branch to a
offset (-4 - (instruction offset + 8)). The offset is only 24 bit
long on ARM. Thus instruction offsets higher than 2^23 - 12 would overflow
the offset.

Fix by denoting the first jump to a label by storing the jump
instruction location as the target. This will result in offset of -8,
which of course always fits in the branch instruction.
