Clang's integrated assembler does not allow symbols with non-absolute values to be reassigned. Modify the interrupt entry loop macro to be compatible with IAS by using a label and an offset.

.quad 0bBit of a silly nit: can we use a named label, or at least a non-zero shorthand? It's really easy to misread "0b" as zeroing out the value, at least for me.
I don't believe that will work. If I rename "0 :" to something more concrete, like ".Lcurrent :", then the label's redefined because of the ".rept". If I assign the "0b" to something, we're back with the unmodified code, which clang issues an error for:
