Yeah, this is why I was thinking that we could - for starters - just 
move assembler files from nasm to gcc's inline assembler, and leave it 
there. There shouldn't be any impact (especially negative) if we do just 
that.

This will be enough to get debug info needed for profiling, and would be 
a "base" for any future intrinsics fun. We can't even start with 
intrinsics if we stick to nasm (well, ok, I know, there are some tricks).

Note that I don't want to use gcc for files which can be compiled by 
visual studio.
