I get requests for this a couple of times a month.
Unless you really, really want to play with GCC guts, use my binaries
[ sites listed again at end ]. The GCC that was used is only a few
days away from the FSF 2.7.2 release and contains no x86 specific
features that we worthy of mention.

The C preprocessor (wheither it's /lib/cpp, cc -E or gcc -E a.k.a cpp)
doesn't generate assembly code. It generates "real" C. The compiler
itself generates assembly code. They really are different things.

The latest released version of GAS does not contain my OSR5 patches.
You're also going to get into trouble mixing/matching ELF and COFF
binaries. My GAS patches are in the latest GAS snapshots, but they're not
in anything publicly released.

There are all kinds of * knowledges between then. Even if you got
them to compile, you'd get into trouble with supporting '-g'. Then once
you got that to work, you'd get into trouble supporting ELF. Then you've
got ELF w/ debugging to worry about. Then you've got problems with the
startups. Then you've got problems with....
If you place any value on your time, use the binaries.
