Have a look at NASM. It's free and very complete. Currently still in =
beta version 0.98 if I'm correct. It produces object files for several =
platforms including DOS object file and ELF.
As running NASM with the -hf option lists :
>>
valid output formats for -f are (`*' denotes default):
* bin flat-form binary files (e.g. DOS .COM, .SYS)
obj MS-DOS 16-bit/32-bit OMF object files
rdf Relocatable Dynamic Object File Format v1.1

You'll find the relevant links and more at:

Which I came across only recently. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ronald
