That's not determined until instructions are encoded for the object
file, which is pretty deep down in MC.  I can imagine a couple of ways 
to get the info you want, but it's not pretty.  You could emit a label
for every instruction, and then work out the label offsets later on;
you might also be able to collect section offsets as the encoded
instructions are emitted to the object file.

But really, it seems easier to do a disassembly on the object file,
instead of trying to collect the information during compilation.
