Automake includes some support for assembly code.
The variable AS holds the name of the compiler used to build
assembly code. This compiler must work a bit like a C compiler; in
particular it must accept ‘-c’ and ‘-o’. The value of
ASFLAGS is passed to the compilation.
You are required to set AS and ASFLAGS via
configure.in. The autoconf macro AM_PROG_AS will do this
for you. Unless they are already set, it simply sets AS to the C
compiler and ASFLAGS to the C compiler flags.
