[ please excuse me for the unconventional cross-posting, but I didn't
  find a more appropriate GAS newsgroup. ]

We want to migrate a large project written in i386 assember language
to a different, more available assembler, to improve our ability to
share our code with other deveopers.  (We currently use a Pharlap
(sp?) assembler running under DOS (emulation).)

The desired assembler...

should:

(1) be available; source code desirable, freeware would be best
(2) run in cross development environments
(3) generate object code which can easily be linked with objects
    generated by other languages

must:

(4) support all aspects of i[345..]86
(5) support hand-written assembler code using structures
    etc. (i.e. not just compiler-generated code)
(6) cope with Intel assembler syntax (destination comes before
    source), either directly or through an preprocessor

I think (6) rules out the GNU assembler Gas, doesn't it?  Does there
exist a Intel syntax preprocessor for Gas?  Alternatively, how
difficult would it be to support Intel syntax directly through Gas?

Any pointers appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
Michael
