When running xxx-as manually (as in not invoked by gcc), to just
assemble, one also needs to run ld manually - usually from a makefile.
After all, the assembler may be run a hundred times before the hundred
object files need to be linked. Some may be put into libraries, using
ar. Once rolling your own, it's up to you.
