[Qbs] How do I tell qbs to use the nasm assembler when building using QtCreator and a Qt kit?

Right. I had only tried setting it inside the Group item, but that didn't
have any effect. I need another Properties item instead to conditionally
set the cpp.assemblerName then?

Group {
    name: "asm-linux-x86_64"
    condition: qbs.architecture === "x86_64"
    files: [ ...the .asm files ]
    cpp.assemblerName: "nasm"
}

I'll have a similar Group item containing assembly code for linux armv5t
and yet another one for Windows, that's why I tried setting the
cpp.assemblerName inside the group.

Setting cpp.assemblerName outside the Group item makes qbs run nasm, but
then it's using some options tailored for "as" (I guess) that won't work
with nasm:
nasm: error: unrecognised option `--64'
type `nasm -h' for help

At this point I'm probably better of writing my own Rule item to process
each of the .asm files using nasm, to have full control? (output artifacts
tagged with "obj"?)

Cheers,
Ola
