Comment(by igloo):

 So my hope is that if
 {{{
 $compiler $flags -c foo.c
 }}}
 works, then so does
 {{{
 $compiler $flags -S foo.c
 $compiler $flags -c foo.s
 }}}

 If that's so, then I think we can close this ticket. But I'm not sure
 whether you have a case where that's not so, and if you do, whether it
 still causes you problems?
