I experimented with trying to compile the powerpc32 add_n.asm file. My CPU
is PowerPC 601. My compiler uses ".s" for assembler files.

Then the assembler cannot handle the "dnl" and "C" comments lines, nor the
directives
  include(`../config.m4')
  ASM_START()
  PROLOGUE(mpn_add_n)
  EPILOGUE(mpn_add_n)

But if I take that out, the file compiles.

So it might not be too difficult to provide assembler files for MacOS
compilers.
