You might want to side-step that problem by having your compiler
generate assembly language as text.  And then feed that to an
assembler.  If your purpose is to learn about compilers, then this
allows you to learn the interesting and important stuff, while
avoiding learning boring nitty-gritty details, such as the one you
mentioned.

Good idea in any case -- it's an excellent book.
