You need an assembler which is capable of outputting coff objects. 

You can use GAS (GNU assembler), which comes with the standard
binutils. The only "limitation" is that you will need to use the AT&T
syntax, ie.

movl %%ecx, %%eax

GAS's errorchecking is also minimal because it is not designed to get
input from the programmer in the first place.

As opposed to GAS, there is an assembler called NASM (Netwide
Assembler), their homepage is at http://www.cryogen.com/Nasm. It's
just about the best assembler there is and it can output coff objects
and it uses the intel syntax.

Some versions of MASM should also output coff objects.
