Of course, you're right.  That's just a brain-o.

Hmm, that should IMHO be "foo.s" (small .s).  Files ending in .S are
meant to be passed through cpp first, while files ending in .s are
going directly to the assembler.  Of course, this only applies to
(file) systems that differentiate between both cases, and only if
you use avr-gcc to make the distinction.  (That's why the -x
assembler-with-cpp made it into many CFLAGS, thought it's only
needed on non-Unix systems.)

Ah, i didn't know this.

Fine.  Again, thanks for the work of doing a review, much appreciated!
