This is probably true. But please don't get me wrong: I love Nasm. It's just

DOSLFN is probably not free enough for Fedora as LFN are patented??

DJGPP can also be compiled as a cross-compiler, so DJGPP apps could
even be compiled in native linux.
Another option is to pass commands to a dos-based compiler through
