 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).
