gas (the GNU assembler, into which gcc feeds its output,
whether compiled C or inlined assembly) supports Intel
syntax now, at least on Linux.  You invoke it by preceding
your code with the directive:

	.intel_syntax

Even better, invoking gcc with a "-masm=intel" switch will
make it generate Intel-style assembly.

-aw
PS. I haven't tested any of the above with DJGPP's gcc,
but the theory is plausible.
