Perhaps this article would help:


D. W. Jones. "Assembly Language as Object Code." Software Practice and
    Experience, Vol 13, No. 8, pages 715-725.


    In this paper, I point out that a decent assembler (with macro and
    conditional features, as well as a source inclusion directive) can
    do everything we usually associate with linkage editors from the
    FORTRAN generation (with the exception of automatic overlay management).
    The particular assembler described in this paper is available from me
    on request.
