Interesting thing is, I can not reproduce the issue on linux:
I compiled the pristine binutils-2.26 source on my x86_64-linux
(fedora 20), installed to ~/b226.

I then ran first normally:
$ gcc -m32 -x assembler-with-cpp -v -c d_copy.s
... which reports:
COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-m32' '-v' '-c' '-mtune=generic' '-march=i686'
 as -v --32 -o d_copy.o /tmp/ccEPaWUM.s
GNU assembler version 2.23.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux) using BFD version
version 2.23.2

And a second time with the PATH pointing to new binutils, like:
$ PATH=~/b226/bin:$PATH gcc -m32 -x assembler-with-cpp -v -c d_copy.s
... which reports:
COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-m32' '-v' '-c' '-mtune=generic' '-march=i686'
 as -v --32 -o d_copy.o /tmp/ccPMZpRd.s
GNU assembler version 2.26 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) using BFD version
(GNU Binutils) 2.26.20160125

Then I ran objdump -d on the two generated *.o files and they are identical:
  dd:	f3 a5                	rep movsl %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi)

Is this specific to djgpp (or to djgpp port of binutils) ?
