Short answer:   (1): you can't assemble .asm with gcc;
		(2): you can't use .obj files compiled with MASM.
To use assembly language functions, you will have to convert the
.asm files to the format which AT&T assemblers (like GNU assembler)
understand; this must be done manually :-(.

Long answer: download and unzip the file faq100.zip (available from
the same place you get DJGPP) and read Section 17 of the FAQ list.
