Doug expressed the concern that this approach is fragile to clang,
because clang will move the label after function main.  After some
experiments, I find a reliable approach: define a label main_label
inside function main, so neither gcc or clang moves it out of
function.  We can get the address of main by main_label minus the offset
of main_label to main.

In this updated patch, we compile main.c to object, and gets
main_label's offset to main.  Then, we can produce the correct address
of main in the debug information.
