  find /usr/obj -name '*.o' -delete
is much better

You need to write 0xA for newline
https://github.com/graudeejs/asm4BSD/blob/master/examples/000-hello/hello.fasm


Check this out: https://github.com/graudeejs/asm4BSD
For my university Assembler practical work, I picked FreeBSD

There is hellow world, that will/should run on any BSD
and in FreeBSD directory there are more examples

All that is for i386, but there shouldn't be to much problem to convert
it to amd64

Oh, and it's written in lang/fasm (http://flatassembler.net/)
