 Although C99 allows declarations and statements to be mixed, it does not
 make declarations into statements.  Labels can only be applied to
 statements, not to declarations.  As to allowing this as an extension, see
 the comment in c-parse.in explaining why we don't:
 
    NOTE: we don't allow labels on declarations; this might seem like a
    natural extension, but there would be a conflict between attributes
    on the label and prefix attributes on the declaration.  */
