You _are_ aware that latest versions of Gas, the GNU assembler, have
an option to accept Intel-style assembly, yes?  With that feature, the
only reason you might have to use MASM is a massive use of MASM
macros.  Otherwise, I'd strongly recommend to use Gas and save
yourself lots of trouble (see below).

Latest versions of Gas support SSE and MMX.

Yes, that's true: the relocations produced by MASM are incompatible
with what the DJGPP linker expects.  A recent thread on this forum
discussed the problems in detail, you could probably find it by
searching for "MASM" in http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/.
One of the messages in that thread included a pointer to a program
which can patch a MASM-produced object file to be compatible with
DJGPP.

But I think you should seriously consider using Gas.
