This is probably a bug in your compiler. C does not have this restriction.
(That kind of restriction only applies to variables with a variable length
array.)

  ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E)

  6.8.6.1 The goto statement

  Constraints

  1 The identifier in a goto statement shall name a label located
  somewhere in the enclosing function. A goto statement shall not jump
  from outside the scope of an identifier having a variably modified
  type to inside the scope of that identifier.

(Anyway, I recognize that that code is ugly; the compiler had the right
to give a warning there.)
