to link an external asm module just assemble it then on the command
line type
  gcc -o whatever.exe asmcode.o
or to have gas assemble your asm stuff do
  gcc -o asmcode.o -c asmcode.s
and gcc will invoke gas correctly to assemble your code after which
you can use the first command I showed you
or to do it all at once just do
  gcc -o test.exe test1.c test2.c asmcode.s -Wall
and everything will be compiled and assembled for you (except you
won't have the benefit of .o object files)

AT&T syntax stuff:
movb $0,%ah
movb $0x13,%al
int $0x10

Hope this helps.
