It only takes a couple hours to write a half decent two-pass absolute
assembler in Python.  I've done it.  There are also generic assember
toolkits/frameworks available.  Doing real work in binary is insane.

I know people _think_ they're're only going to spend an hour writing
"just this one" program in binary, so it's not worth spending a few
hours developing tools.  IME, they're always wrong.
