On ARM, we found that putting .eabi_attribute directives in sysdep.h (to 
specify required and maintained stack alignment, a similar case where 
default assembler output isn't compatible with compiler output) covered 
almost all assembly sources in glibc, leaving only a handful of .S files 
needing such directives directly in the .S file.
