That code can't be compiled with GCC or any of its tools, because it's
written in "Intel" rather than "AT&T" assembly syntax.  You'll need a
third-party assember for this.  NASM seems to be the common
recommendation.

Not with any released version of GCC.  You'll probably need exactly the
C compiler this code was originally written for.  

You're looking at the wrong toolchain for this particular task.
You'll either have to rewrite all that code completely, or use a
different toolchain.  OpenWatcom should do it.
