Well, turns out that yes it does, and nasm is already packaged in
Fedora ...

$ nasm -f win32 testnasm.asm -o testnasm.obj
$ file testnasm.obj 
testnasm.obj: 80386 COFF executable not stripped - version 30821
$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc test.c testnasm.obj -o test
$ wine ./test 
42

$ cat test.c 
#include <stdio.h>

main ()
{
  extern int test ();
  printf ("%d\n", test ());
}

$ cat testnasm.asm 
		 bits 32
		 section .text
		 global _test
_test:
	mov eax,42
	ret
