I know you need OMF support for linkable objects, which NASM has. So what exactly is holding you back? (Sorry, I haven't looked closely yet.) Preprocessor? Macros? Structs? Or just basic syntax?

NASM, since 2.15, has "%use masm" for some extra compatibility now. It's not perfect (no ASSUME overrides, no auto variable size handling), but it does help.
