Djgpp is not by _default_ 100% ANSI C compliant, though it can be.  Just
add the switches -ansi and -pedantic to the command line.
Djgpp _does_ use AT&T syntax asm.  That is, it uses the same opcodes as
Intel asm, but with different symbols and the operands are in a different
order.  Generally, it goes something like:
<opcode> <source> <destination>
Which is, IMHO, much more logical.
