I think what you want is (untested)

asm("movl %0(%%eax),%%edx"
    :: "i" (offsetof(some_struct, member))
   );

The "i" constraint specifies that this operand is an immediate value,
and hence will be inserted as a constant.

Note that you should always use the standard `offsetof' macro instead
of trying to calculate the offseet yourself.
