with s/fff/ASM_COMMENT_START/ and with a proper function name, this is 
actually an almost acceptable patch.  Only, you also have to do 
app_enable/app_disable (search for the other occurrences of 
flag_debug_asm in dwarf2out.c, they also explain why this is needed). 
These probably can be moved to common code in general.

No, that's fine.  -dA can actually be handled by common code.
