The .asm extension is not supported by GCC, whereas .s and .S are, so the default for CCAS=$CC as set by AM_PROG_AS will not do the right thing for GCC. If GCC were changed to accept it, the situation changes, but as things are now, at least AM_PROG_AS would need changing too, and as soon as you'll allow both .s/.S and .asm within the same project then .asm will need to be another, different language with a different compiler and variables etc., I guess.
