The short answer is "no". Using "as -am" has already been suggested and
this is as close as your are going to get. Unless you take the
assembler sources and use them to create your own
assembler-pre-processor tool.
This does beg the question however of "why do you want to do this" ? Ie
why do you need to intercept the expanded macros before they are
assembled ? It seems likely to me that there may be another way to
solve whatever problem you face.
