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)
