This is not a problem for me. The reason I would like to get the 
assembler, is simply to see if the compiler performs the optimizations 
that I hope it would.

Vladimir, even though the assembler files are produced as side-effects 
of a normal compilation,  could the asm rule not simply be implemented 
as this compilation + an additional deletion of all other files?
