A simple test case on gcc-4.3 says:

    test.c:10: error: a label can only be part of a statement
    and a declaration is not a statement

IIRC it's not ISO C90 compliant. Nothing wrong with tcc. I'll 
leave the digging up the ISO C standard to others.

Which gcc on Win32 did you try it on? My test case failed on MinGW 
3.4.5 and MinGW 4.3 alpha.
