Comment (by bgamari):

 I don't think it would be wise to let this issue hold us back on an old
 llvm release. However, the other options aren't much better. Ideally we
 would just use llvm-mc but this is easier said than done since we use
 invoke the assembler through gcc. Using as directly is complicated by the
 fact that we would then be responsible for running cpp ourselves.
