Escaped curly braces cannot be target-specific since
do_assembler_dialects() in final.c ignores any % and considers '{' and
'}' to be alternative delimeters.

That would not be a general approach. %% stands for printing percent
sign, so in assembler string "{%%}" closing curly brace should be
handled as the end of an alternative, though it follows a percent
sign.
