I think (going by memory here), that it chokes on 

setXXl reg8

In this specific case 

setnel %al

Try changing it to

setneb %al

This should get it to compile anyway.  Although I'm not sure
how it ever worked (but I don't know at&t syntax) as setXX can only
operate on byte sized registers, never dword registers.  You'll see
this same problem in a couple of places.
