I should know something. Imho the easiest way for a single-pass compiler is 
to store all the offset-addresses (and segment-addresses if necessary) of the 
labels and the offsets of the jmp-instructions with the labels to jmp to. Of 
course use all the jmp-instructions that require 2 bytes instead of 1. After 
the complete source-code has been compiled fill in the jmp-offsets.
When using segments always use jmp-instructions that require 4 bytes. The 
code won't be optimized. If you'd like to optimize, I recommend to use a 
double-pass.
