Use grep first. That would still match several existing labels.

Spending time reading docs can help with that.
Mark? Can you please comment about the below?
I believe the test should be:
if ($realfile =~ /\.S$/ &&
$line =~ /^\+\s*SYM_[A-Z]+_(?:START|END)(?:_[A-Z_]+)?\s*\(\s*\.L/) {
WARN(...);
}
so that only this code currently matches:
$ git grep -P '^\s*SYM_[A-Z]+_(?:START|END)(?:_[A-Z_]+)?\s*\(\s*\.L' -- '*.S'
