No, the C preprocessor doesn't know how to evaluate assembler expressions.

What's happening is that the macros are called from within repetitive
assembly loops, and the register name needs to be calculated using the
value of an assembler variable, which is numeric. The C preprocessor
isn't flexible enough to do the whole job itself either.
