I have now consulted the glibc maintainers directly on this question.
The thread is available here:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/mvm342hx8tf.fsf@suse.de/

Andreas Schwab (SUSE Labs) responded:

  "Since the compiler will define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when
   preprocessing assembler-with-cpp files, there is no need to change
   anything on the glibc side.  The places that define __ASSEMBLY__ for
   that purpose will just become redundant."
