IMHO, GNU pascal is the best pascal compiler available, it is 80%
compatible with Borland syntax (but it was not the goal to be 100%
compatible due to alot of the routines were DOS orientated)  You are
right about the asm syntax, it uses AT&T syntax.  You can find out
even more by going to:

http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal

The official GNU Pascal homepage or you can get it at any simtel
mirror etc. as: gpp2721.zip.

Hope this helps!
