The same applies to "assemble" at machine level.

I could imagine that at that time the result was more important than
sophisticated handling of source code. A portable C compiler also is
assumed to output executable modules where other compilers rely on a linker.

[The Bell Labs portable C compiler output assembler source code, although
most people didn't notice since it normally assembled it and threw the
assembler code away.  Last time I checked gcc and clang do the same. -John]
