  Ah... Okay, so why not try giving the assembler a directive that says 
this is no longer preprocessed?
  Try putting a "/APP" and "/NO_APP" in there.  So the assembler sees this:

  compiler code

/APP

  your code

/NO_APP

  compiler code

  Or go over the assember output and find out what the directive is and
try putting in a directive a lot like it but with a "no" in front or
something.  Or use -Wa to pass an option to the assembler to tell it that
the file isn't preprocessed after all.
