    # Enable protected mode
    mov eax, cr0

    jmp 0x08:protected_mode_setup

I'm trying to write a bootloader in Rust with the assembly being included through global_asm!("start.s"). This means I'm limited to using GNU Asm. Now I want to make a far jump from 16bit mode to protected mode after loading the GDT. In nasm this would be a jmp 0x08:mylabel in GNU Asm this does not seem to exist?

error: unexpected token in argument list

   |            ^

error: aborting due to previous error

I also tried jmp far 0x08:protected_mode_setup and jmp 0x08, protected_mode_setup like described here without success.
