My understanding is that libffi just uses whatever assembler gcc is
configured to use -- it runs the assembler via the gcc front end.
So it seems like you could work around this using the appropriate -B
option, or by configuring gcc a different way.
I guess we could recognize --with-as=... and set the -B option
automatically, but that seems a bit ugly (and perhaps error-prone; I
don't know the issues).
