gcc understands a .S file to mean that the assembly program should be
preprocessed first, so it stores the preprocessed output to a
temporary file, with a .s suffix. Run your .S file through the
preprocessor alone to check what's on line 22. (If you don't want your
assembly file preprocessed then change the suffix to .s.)
