Might I suggest that instead of writing Intel assembler (which will end up
being less than optimized unless you also want to write an Intel code
optimizer) that perhaps it should generate some intermediate compiler
representation (like RTL), like I believe is used for the GCC code
generators. If I'm not mistaken, this would allow instant portability to
any processor supported by GCC (many), with optimizers that have already
had a zillion hours of work.
