Assuming it does something similar to what it did in Turbo C:

/* Non-portable version */

inline unsigned long _lrotl(unsigned long n, int c)
{
   asm("roll %b2, %0"
       : "=g" (n)
       : "0" (n), "ci" (c));
   return n;
}

/* More portable version */
/* For constant `c', GCC should optimize it into a single `roll'
instruction (!) */

#include <limits.h>
inline unsigned long _lrotl(unsigned long n, int c)
{
   return (n << c) | (n >> ((sizeof(unsigned long) * CHAR_BIT) - c));
}

HTH
