I would just use the disassembler, for example `x/10i _start` instead of
`list _start`!

I don't think nasm will generate line info automatically (just names),
so you would set breakpoints on symbols `b _start` or addresses `b
*0x401000)

However... gas can do it if you prefer this style. Your code is
basically valid gas syntax already. Just add `.intel_syntax noprefix`
and add a `.` before directives, e.g. .section, .global, etc, and use #
for comments instead of ;.

Then you can use `as -g foo.asm -o foo.o` instead.

Now `b foo.asm:123` should work.

Nasm and gas are both great assemblers, it doesn't make much difference
which one you choose while you're getting started.

Tavis.
