There are a few rare instances in which gotos are necessary, but I'm sure
you're aware that they're to be avoided otherwise.

I'm assuming "x" is being used as a status flag. If that's the case,
then "x" should have a default setting to start with. Is there a reason why
giving "x" a default setting would be the wrong thing to do? [I read your
initial thoughts on this, but I don't understand your reasoning.]
If "x" is not a status variable, then what is it used for?
