Hi!

I was just building an aarch64 cross-compiler (indeed compiler only:
'make all-gcc'), and then wanted to check something in gimplification
('-S -fdump-tree-gimple'), with '-mabi=ilp32', which told me: "cc1:
error: assembler does not support '-mabi=ilp32'".  That's unexpected, as
for '-S' GCC isn't even going to invoke the assembler.  It's coming from
this change:

Specifically:

    --- a/gcc/config/aarch64/aarch64.c
    +++ b/gcc/config/aarch64/aarch64.c
    @@ -5187,6 +5187,13 @@ aarch64_override_options (void)
           aarch64_parse_tune ();
         }
    
    +#ifndef HAVE_AS_MABI_OPTION
    +  /* The compiler may have been configured with 2.23.* binutils, which does
    +     not have support for ILP32.  */
    +  if (TARGET_ILP32)
    +    error ("Assembler does not support -mabi=ilp32");
    +#endif

Why is that necessary?  Won't the assembler itself tell the user that it
"does not support -mabi=ilp32", thus this check can be removed?  If not,
can a condition simply be added here to only emit this error if we're
indeed going to invoke the assembler?

(For my own testing, I just locally disabled that, of course.)
