This would indeed by a nice feature.  Please feel free to write a patch 
that implements it, although if you wanted to submit it we would first 
need a copyright assignment to the FSF.

Is there a particular reason why you want such a feature ?  Perhaps 
there is another way of solving the problem you are facing, possibly by 
editing the assembler files before they are converted into object files.
