You don't call a compiler. You just run the assembler.  The  assember
does  nothing else but assemble your code. It does NOT include things
like running a preprocessore or so.

Maybe you want to check assembler syntax?

"gcc" does know how to run a preprocessor. But you're not running  "gcc",
you're running "as" only.

Because your build rule is inappropriate for what you want to do?
