I'm not very familiar with 'nasm', but assuming it produces regular elf
object files:

  $(LD) -r -o {target}.o main.o hwaccess.o

'$(LD) -r' is used lots of places in kernel makefiles already.  (Too
many places, actually, most of which could and should be automated.
Kai Germaschewski has recently done some work to this end.)
