[bug #60557] Built-in rule for preprocessing assembler programs doesn't work as documented

[Martin Dorey]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #60557 (project make):

I thought I'd found where PREPROCESS.S was added, in 2014, under:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c0380823a27f14cdc8274ad03c0dcab216d1380b

... but I must be getting confused by the limited diff context because it's
there all the way back to 1992's initial revision:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=b8593206069f19229dfb8f41233ea61d891ad6e4

The definition of CPP as $(CC) -E also goes back to 1992.  The claim in the
documentation that we use $(CPP) goes back to 1991.  The documentation's
approach seems reasonable.  Perhaps the PREPROCESS.S definition got confused
by the since-retired Xenix condition.
