Googling brought me to the Linux Assembly HOWTO at:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Assembly-HOWTO.html#S-ASSEM

Which says: "GAS is the GNU Assembler, that GCC relies upon...." "GAS  
also has GASP (GAS Preprocessor), which adds all the usual  
macroassembly tricks to GAS. GASP comes together with GAS in the GNU  
binutils archive. It works as a filter, like CPP and M4. I have no  
idea on details, but it comes with its own texinfo documentation,  
which you would like to browse (info gasp), print, grok. GAS with  
GASP looks like a regular macro-assembler to me."
