I'm far from being an assembly wizard, but since nobody has yet given
you any replies, I'll try, and let others correct me if I'm wrong.

The DJGPP FAQ list says this in section 17.1:

   * The AT&T assembler does not provide support for multiple-section (aka
     multi-segment) programs.  Unix style systems expect all programs to be
     single-section.

So it seems that you can't do what you want, unless you hack some of
the tools involved (don't ask me how, I wouldn't know).
