And the AS rules have gone through a few mutations, so I'm not sure
which style the old style is.

You can set AM_ASFLAGS to include whatever you want: $(INCLUDES),
$(DEFS), etc.  That is one way to approximate one of the old
behaviors.  Or you can write your own .s.o / .s.lo rules for complete
control.

I don't know about the link problem.
