Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…):

 My understanding is that the clang-based /usr/bin/as assembler in Xcode 7
 is using the integrated assembler in clang rather than the llvm-as
 assembler while providing flag and syntax compatibility with the older
 GNU-assembler (so it is effectively a drop-in replacement).
