This problem has been solved.

I believe the problem came from my path length being too long. When the assembler creates the main.o file, is is placed under your obj/default folder in which the whole directory is created again. It follows this format.

As you can imagine, this path length can get rather long. My guess is it exceeded the maximum allowed by the Nios Cygwin build tools.

Simply making my MY_DIR path less levels solved this issue.
