I tested that yesterday evening using a very simple wrapper that prepends `-q`
to the arguments and then execs `as`. Clearly `as -q` does a better job in
translating the commandline arguments to clang-lingo than my wrapper script did
(and fortunately so, I dare say). The build completed fine, and is functional -
on Mac OS X 10.9.5 and `as` configured to invoke clang 4.0 .
I'm thus reopening this ticket. It is NOT a duplicate of the aforementioned bug
report.
I cannot edit the original description but it should be reworded/completed to
include something like the following:
It would be useful if GCC could be configured to include platform-specific
arguments for the default assembler, in this case `-q`. Setting up that
assembler correctly so that it works properly when invoked by GCC is an
independent responsibility that falls to the installing user, not GCC.
