Agreed.

The assembler won't help you at all -- object formats are not its job (and
it's not that good at its job anyways :).

There exists a program which converts from .obj to .o; I don't remember
anything useful about it, but you can almost certainly find some info at
DJ's web site at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp (this is the C compiler
whose backend is used as the backend for Gnat under DOS).  In the event
that nothing there helps, try asking the folk at news:comp.os.msdos.djgpp;
they've been quite helpful to me on occasion.

Seconded.

It's been quite a while... :)
