Hi Thomas,

The problem is that the labels within the macro are not being declared as
"local".  "Local" is a directive which tells the macro assembler that this
label within the macro is only local to this macro and references to any
other labels with the same string should be ignored.

Using "local" try out this version of the macro:

call_test       macro   label
 local here     ;  <-- "here" is now specific to inside macro
        goto    here
        nop
here
        call    label
        endm
