You could save them as plain text (BasText).  This isn't too hard to
change back and forth.

You mean, anywhere that ARM targetted binutils are available; but anyone
can install binutils-multiarch (Debian) or download an x86-ARM cross
compiler.  This is probably the best solution, and in the fullness of
time, we'll be able to use the same code to directly generate modules
using GCC+binutils in RISC OS.  The alternative is to have them in AOF
assembler, and use GCCSDK to assemble them.
