I can verify that many compilers on VSE have done that for a long time
too. I don't know MVS and VM/CMS well enough to comment on either of those.

You can
write inline assembler in your C source, but
the Turbo 2.0x
compiler can't do the assembly by itself -- it uses
Turbo Assembler
for that.
Is it a *recent* development of compilers that as an
intermediate step the source code will first be
reduced to assembler mnemonics, before being reduced
to object code?
