Summary

As part of the migration away from obsolete binutils we want to retire GNU as. Most assembly files used on amd64 have a .S extension and (via rules in share/mk/bsd.suffixes.mk) are assembled with Clang's Integrated Assembler (IAS). Rename files in stand/i386 to .S to use the integrated assembler.

Clang's IAS supports the defsym option (via -Wa,) but only with one dash, not two. As both -defsym and --defsym are accepted by GNU as, use the former.

I looked at this on my phone a few days ago and meant to stamp it with LGTM when I got back to my computer, but that fell through the cracks.

OK, thanks for the followup!

On amd64 there's one more change ready to go in D18344, then just skein_block_asm.s to deal with.
