The Linux kernel uses sgdt and lcall, so presumably it should work:

  http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/asm-i386/desc.h#L120
  http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/pci/pcbios.c#L66

RayeR, if you just can't get it to work, you could try compiling the
assembly code in another file with nasm and linking it with the C
code. http://grack.com/writings/misc/InterfacingDJGPPwithNASM.html
seems to be a decent introduction to this.
