Is it the AT&T syntax that gets you, or the inline assembly facilities 
that GCC provides?

If the former, I cannot help you.  But inline assembly facilities of GCC 
are IMHO great.  Try section 18.13 in the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip 
from the same place you get DJGPP), for more info.

There's no practical way to make GCC use NASM as its inline assembler.  
You will need to make GCC emit Intel-style assembly code for C source as 
well, since GCC just passes the inline code to the assembler it uses for 
generating object code.
