as, the GNU assembler

as can be used as either a compiler pass or a source-level assembler.

When used as a source-level assembler, it has a companion assembly language preprocessor called gasp. gasp has a syntax similar to most other assembly language macro packages.

as emits a relocatable object file from the assembly language source code. The object file contains the binary code and the debug symbols.
