But the failure mode is assembling assembler source - GMP should arrange to not use the compiler driver to assemble but to call an assembler directly for assembler source. (yes, the compiler driver knows which assembler to use, so it's certainly convenient to use it - but I can see people using a compiler with a built-in assembler that expects Intel assembler operand ordering instead of AT&T?)
