>Summary: as -Z option, GCC removes object file

Initial Comment:
The -Z option when supplied to GNU as should output a binary file regardless of error.

File foo.c
void _fpreset (void)
  { __asm__ ( "fninit" ) ;}

$ gcc -v -o foo.o -c foo.c -Wa,-march=i386,-Z

The effect of -Z should produce foo.o even though there is an error.  http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Z.html#Z

Message:
Actually, as works as expected when executed directly via the command line.
 It is GCC that removes the object file.
