because masm is made by Microsoft I would assume that the masm generates valid object files (correct binary format)
The test you mention uses the assembler of VC 8.
I think the issue here is why should users need to install MASM when they're using GCC and have a perfectly good assembler already (as)? Besides I'm not sure that the assumption that a MASM produced assembly is always compatible with GCC-Mingw is a valid one - it may well be sometimes, but I think it depends how Mingw is built and configured - I'm not completely sure about though.
