Options can be passed from the C compiler to MASM in the Options.C
Compiler.Other Options field by using the /MA switch. However, if the
option has a space between the /MA and the actual option, the option
will be passed to the compiler instead of the assembler. For the
switch to be passed to the assembler, there cannot be a space in the
option

For example, "/MA DEBUG" does not work; "/MADEBUG" does work properly.
