I asked about the issue on the libjpeg-turbo mailing list and someone suggested to ask here:

Some feedback from DRC on the libjpeg-turbo mailing list:

I would like to support Xcode 5.0. In order to make that happen, then
gas-preprocessor.pl needs to be modified to work around a couple of
issues with LLVM/clang. The "invalid operand" issue is one of them.
The other is that, when you pass "-x assembler" to clang, which is
necessary when feeding it an assembly file via stdin like
gas-preprocessor does, it seems to ignore some of the other arguments.
The latter can be worked around in gas-preprocessor pretty easily, but
the former seems to be a basic incompatibility between the assembly file
and the new assembler. The lines of code in question are unmodified
relative to the original assembly file, so the presence of
gas-preprocessor doesn't seem to be what's causing the failure. The
assembly code just won't assemble in clang. That is not something I am
capable of resolving, and note that I did spend about 4 hours trying
various things in gas-preprocessor.

I ended up fixing this issue locally in the libjpeg-turbo repository:
