The frame_push macro sets a local symbol .Lframe_local_offset to the
offset where the local variable area resides in the stack frame.
However, while we take care not to nest frame_push and frame_pop
sequences, .Lframe_local_offset retains its most recent value, allowing
it to be referenced erroneously from outside a frame_push/frame_pop
pair. So set it to an obviously wrong value that is guaranteed to
trigger a link error in frame_pop.
