Are you aware of what the distinction is between e.g. shr and shrl/shrq?

I see that the C compiler is actually invoked as $(CCAS) when compiling
assembly, and if one sets this at configure time, it will use that
instead of $(CC). So I could specify CCAS=as. But CFLAGS et al. are
passed in as arguments, and as(1) here does not like -O or -xO3.

This is the problem, in a nutshell:

    $ cc -m64 -c hello.c ; echo exit status $?
    cc: Warning: illegal option -m64
    exit status 0
    $ file hello.o
    hello.o:        ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable 80386 Version 1

    $ cc -xarch=amd64 -c hello.c ; echo exit status $?
    exit status 0
    $ file hello.o
    hello.o:        ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable AMD64 Version 1
