When using gcc with a post-assembly tool, we use a wrapper that
invokes the tool and needs to know if the tool's output (another
assembly file) needs to be saved. The wrapper doesn't generate any
additional .o files and hence doesn't need to know whether the obj
file is to be saved (which is done by the driver). Why do we need to
pass -save-temps=obj in that case?
