You can build pure assembly files with GCC too. Just change the file's extension to .s (or .S to run the C preprocessor on it first) and call gcc on it like you do for C files. That will build it into a .o, which can be linked with C/C++ code. Very useful for larger projects.

I highly recommend the gcc route as well -- gcc is available on all platforms, and insures that whoever you give your source code to that they will be able to compile it.
Personally, I feel that not locking yourself into a development platform is a good thing -- it's one thing to want to write code for the GBA. It's another thing to write it in such a way that you can only build it using Windows (or Linux or Mac OS X etc, etc, etc...). That's why I advocate using tools like gcc, make, and other tools where the source is available.
Good luck!

the best choice is armasm, in bin folder of ads1.2
