It doesn't make a difference. Allegro only looks at the address of the
XXX_end label to find how much to lock. It makes no difference what code the
compiler may actually generate. The only *possible* advantage I can think of
is to avoid warnings that the compiler may someday issue. It's a one-line
fix anyway.
