Whoever defined the gas assembly syntax for binutils specified that (N) as an
operand defines an absolute address and N defines an immediate value.

However, prefixing an expression with a unary plus works for me, so adding
this into my patch:

-	s:^->\([^ ]*\) [\$$#]*\([-0-9]*\) \(.*\):#define \1 \2 /* \3 */:; \
+	s:^->\([^ ]*\) [\$$#]*\([-0-9]*\) \(.*\):#define \1 +(\2) /* \3 */:; \

Does that work for you?
