On my i686 machine, I compile personal assembly like
this:

nasm -f elf hello.asm -o hello.o
ld -o hello hello.o

That works for me.  From your problem, I would assume
that GNU ld isn't compatible with aout format, that's
why it doesn't work for you.  Try ELF and see if that
works.
Also, I would encourage use of Nasm; afterall, it is
very compatible when properly used.
