Generating assembly code without macro-instructions

Hi there

i have a question. Is there any way for mature ports (e.g. MIPS,
Alpha, SPARC) to generate directly "real" assembly instructions (as
these are shown by "gas -l") instead of macro-instructions? See below
for such a case. BTW can this be done for "dot" instructions (assembly
directives) too, are these are required information for the linker?

An example of a macro-instruction that could be replaced on-the-fly by
two "real" assembly instructions for the MIPS:

Macro:
li %reg, %imm

Actual assembly:
lui %0, \%hi(%1)
ori %0, %0, %1
