I'm not sure I understand the issue. Are we worried about producing
bogus output assembly files and the fact that people may be piping the
assembly into an assembler? It seems to me that we should emit some
garbage into it that we know will not assemble properly. That will
prevent the situation that the user gets a new .o that does not work
properly.
