Yes it can.

Use ".altmacro" instead of ".macro", and you can make local names and
labels using "LOCAL name".  You can also use numeric local labels, or
\@ for a macro invocation number.

gcc does not remove nops if you write them correctly - but it does
remove useless code if it is not marked appropriately.  Post some code,
and I can see if I can help.

Note that you don't need an assembler if you are mixing assembly and C -
inline assembly within the C code is usually sufficient for the few
snippets of code that you need in assembly.
