In that case I think we can just use a variable for the command.
Hopefully by the time we need to support archs with sub file
controlled asm, changes to the build system will have eliminated the
whole sub file mess and we'll just multiple implicit rules in proper
precedence order to get the right files used. This should considerably
improve 'make' start latency too, which suffers a lot from the
function for sub file dependencies.
