We cross-compile all the time and don't have to parse assembler-files,
just compile a c-file and include the resulting asm into entry.S:
/* linux/arch/cris/entryoffsets.c

* Copyright (C) 2001 Axis Communications AB

* Generate structure offsets for use in entry.S. No extra processing
* needed more than compiling this file to assembly code. Horrendous
* assembly code will be generated, so don't look at that.
