Really, the only part you need to write is a front end for gcc that
can turn assembly code for a given processor (i386 in this case) into
gcc's RTL; think of it as the back end in reverse. Just a SMOP. =:-O
The full chain would look something like:
objdump | <asm parser for A> | gcc backend for B | as | ld
(objdump is part of the GNU binutils)
