[LLVMdev] How to use clang -intergrated-as to compile cross-(os/target) assembly file.

I don't think we should attempt to mangle symbols declared in assembly
source files.  If you're writing assembly, you will need to handle ABI
portability, including the _ prefix on win32 x86.

clang will run the C preprocessor for you if you use the .S file suffix
(case matters).
