cpp is largely used, regardless of its disfunctionality.  The
extension .S (in contrast to .s) tells gcc to run cpp (or
equivalent) on the source before feeding it to gas.

And what's not covered by that, seems covered my .macro ...
.endm in gas.  I suggest having a look at the docs.  They're
even on-line (from 2.10) and seem to cover the .macro syntax.
