In this case, you don't use the right tools (like DJ already told you), 
but it might sometimes help to know that there are ways to force GCC 
invoke the correct programs even if its default rules fail.  The
"-x language" switches are there to do just that.  For instance, to tell 
gcc that file.s should be passed through cpp first, say this:

	gcc -x assembler-with-cpp -c file.s
