Please see Sections 17 and 18 of the DJGPP FAQ. The key thing here is that
inline assembler code for DJGPP must be in the appropriate format, with
AT&T syntax, and needs to comply with the requirements of 32-bit protected
mode.

Stated more positively, DJGPP has a great facility for inline assembly,
but code produced for other compilers/assemblers may need various
alternations to compile successfully and run as intended.

Incidentally, people who prefer Intel to AT&T assembler syntax may want to
try alternatives such as NASM (for external assembly) or conversion
utilities, also mentioned in the FAQ.

Most respectfully,
