[bug #31361] MinGW make inexplicably invokes as.exe

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31361 (project make): I found the random filename elsewhere in the results file. Looks like cc1plus produces Assembler output in a temp location and then as compiles it into machine code. Ok, so that's how the build system works. Fine. Invoking cc1plus by hand, I find

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #31361 (project make): Thanks Eli. From my make output, make is already passing -v to cc1plus. It doesn't mention anything about not writing the file (or writing it and then deleting it). I see from this: COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-v' '-DSmallTestLib_EXPORTS' '-Wwrite-strin
