inline long
fixed_mul (const long _num1, const long _num2)
{
  long tmp;

  asm ("imull %%edx\n\t"
       "addl $32768, %%eax\n\t"
       "adcl $0, %%edx\n\t"
       "shrdl $16, %%edx, %%eax"
       : "=a" (tmp) /* output: eax->tmp  */
       : "a" (_num1), "d" (_num2) /* input: eax<-_num1, edx<-_num2 */
       : "%edx" /* clobbered: edx */);

  return tmp;
}

Here is another (let gcc choose register for one of operands):

inline long
fixed_mul (const long _num1, const long _num2)
{
  long tmp;

  asm ("imull %2\n\t"
       "addl $32768, %%eax\n\t"
       "adcl $0, %%edx\n\t"
       "shrdl $16, %%edx, %%eax"
       : "=a" (tmp)
       : "a" (_num1), "r" (_num2) /* gcc chooses reg for _num2. */
       : "%edx");

  return tmp;
}

See the difference between them (gcc -S file.c will produce the
assembly listing in file.s).

Warning: Before using the above examples, test the output produced
by gcc.

Also, there is a DJGPP inline assembly tutorial (advised in FAQ):
