Problem: gas uses AT&T syntax, not MASM one. YASM/NASM could be a better
bet.

But probably they choose MASM to use some Windows-specific trickery? The
context classes IIRC are for coroutine so they only should do
stack/register freezing but who knows...

Wasn't MASM deprecated/unsupported for a long time anyway?
