The problem now on Intel is the significant ABI difference between 32 and 64 bit. And then there's the issue of gcc vs. Intel vs. MASM etc. Even assembly language isn't a simple matter. And then if you don't use libc there's the issue of which syscalls you use and it won't be portable across the range of Linux/UNIX/Windows. 32 bit Linux as it was first presented is probably still the best choice although I think most people prefer the human-looking Intel syntax over the machine readable "gas" syntax.
