GCC has added -many to the assembler flags for over ten years now, so
no that will not work.  You can use -mppc or similar with the assembler
if you invoke it correctly (use  $(CC) -print-prog-name=as  to figure
out how to call the assembler, if you want to stay sane and use the
same one as the rest of the toolchain you use).
