Check out ALLEGRO library. You may not need to re-write them.

Check out NASM, its in the FAQ. There is an Intel -> AT&T converter
(TA2AS) available or the otherway is AS2TASM. Check out the mail
archives at www.delorie.com/djgpp or the following sites:
NASM:   ftp://yoda.trin.cam.ac.uk/pub/simon/nasm093.zip or
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutil/nasm093.zip
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutil/nasm093s.zip
AS2TASM: http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~mlkessle/welcome.eng.html
TA2AS: Any DJGPP site, it's in the contrib diretory.

I haven't used GAS. WASM could be used if if it outputs the correct
object format (COFF).

Check out the info here first as it has graphics links, assembler
links:
