Yes, I meant the block, not the if().

Heck, any block could be done this way, even just a block insertion...

void foo(int bar) {
	[...]

	__attribute__((section("mysection")) {
		/* code here is in 'mysection' */
	}
	[...]
}

All gcc would have to do is place a hard jump to the code in the
section, and have the section jump back.
