You could just use NASM if you wanted Intel style syntax. Personally I
find NASM syntax much nicer than the syntax GAS uses.
I'm not really sure if that is what you are looking for though?

Hi,
I'm curious why Mac OS X/Darwin omits the gcc -masm=intel
functionality.
The gcc manpage says:
-masm=dialect
Output asm instructions using selected dialect. Supported
choices are intel or att (the default one). Darwin does not support
intel.
Is there some sort of legality issue here? It seems like omitting
this from the OS would have taken some amount of work, rather than
simply leaving it a part of GCC.
I realize I'm simplifying and making assumptions here, I'm just
trying to ask the question in simple terms so I can (hopefully)
understood. :)
Are there any tools out there that people might recommend for
converting from AT&T to Intel for purely readability purposes? (I
find Intel easier than AT&T for beginners is all.)
I'm an assembly newbie... any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
