I don't use djgpp2 (yet) but you should check file include/sys/farptr.h.

I think GAS doesn't support ES:, FS: etc, but you can add 'data' within
the code (was done in the file above)

Syntax is like this:

asm( ...
    "    .byte $0x64        \n"     /* 0x64 == FS:   :) */
    "    movw  (%%edi),%%ax \n"
     ...


Prefixes index (not tested, but should be correct)

CS: 0x6e
DS: 0x7e
ES: 0x26
FS: 0x64
GS: 0x65
SS: 0x36



PS. I found these out yesterday!


Hope this helps!
