It should recognise standard names like gp already. For other aliases,
I don't know whether it'll work with the preprocessor since asm
statement parameters are strings and obviously won't get expanded.

It should be possible to get hold of GASP and build that to run as a
precursor to the standard assembler. I wouldn't recommend it though.
For one thing I can't say anything about its reliability.
