Yeah, well, what uwe says, and the way you are demonstrating in the example
surely looks like the most complex possible way.

Why not just do something like:

        .text
        .global main
        main:
                ... some asm stuff
                call printf
                ret

and "assemble" it by running "gcc test.S"?
