If I take a GPL program written in C. and rewrite it in ASM do I have to release it as GPL when I release it?

INAL: Yes, if your work is based on that work.

If you happen to re-implement the same thing without consulting the original then you're fine. If you have to consult their source to wire yours then your work is a derivative.
