You are trying to use the Intel assembly syntax with GCC.  This will never
work, as the syntax accepted by Gas, the GNU Assembler which GCC invokes,
is different.  The differences are outlined in section 17.1 of the DJGPP
FAQ list, which also includes pointers to more full documentation of the
Gas syntax.  Please read there, and you will save yourself hours of grief. 

The latest version of the DJGPP FAQ list is available as v2/faq210b.zip 
from the same place you get DJGPP.
