BTW, this won't work if you put the MARK_SYM in a loop which gcc 
unrolls; you'll only get the mark in the last unrolled iteration 
(because the symbol assignments will override each other).

Do make this work properly, you really need to put the mark entries into 
a separate section, so that if gcc duplicates the code, you get 
duplicated markers too.
