   RosAsm doesn't need a linker and it has a very good integrated debugger.

   |i wonder however how many x86/win32 assemblers there are on the world   
      
   only a few support M$ with equates and symbols: FASMw, MASM32, RosAsm,   
   not sure about TASM, NASM and if the old original MASM is still valid.

   not hard but cumbersome, you better expect to work a few years on it.   
   many things are vital to know before you can write an M$ assembler:   
   * the whole instruction set (incl. FPU, SIMD and protected NoGo's)   
   * all about M$-functions and to which OS-versions they apply.   
      
   But you can of course write yourself a tool and restrict it to support   
   only a few favorite functions.
