As a compromise position, can I suggest what I suggested at the end of
my original rant? Always probe for assembler features in a native

No objection. But Kelley's patch is preferable to the current
situation, which is not acceptable. (I'm assuming it does the
right thing for cross configurations, if <target>-as exists.)

Or perhaps (for extra points) only warn in that case. Though warnings
in a long make log tend to be overlooked anyway ...
