You can pass "CROSSOPT="-st"" to the call of make.

You are nearly at that stage though as the compiler has already parsed 
the unit, generated the assembler code tree and now is about to output 
the assembly file (system.s) and call the assembler. And while the step 
of outputing the assembler file is currently failing for you the last 
step which will immediately follow will then fail as well...
