Cannot say anything about NASM and GNU Pascal as I never tried them.
RHIDE works Ok for me (both DJGPP and Linux).
Which version of RHIDE are You using?
I myself am using patched version of RHIDE-1.4.5 (beta) for both DJGPP and
Linux. I had rather serious problems with original Robert's 1.4 and after
that with 1.4.5. So both times I fixed some nasty things and rebuilt
RHIDE.

Read gdb documentation. There is info how to view data in hexadecimal
formats (as I remeber '/x variable_name')
