Yes, you can--if you read the docs first.

You are trying to use inline assembly in a syntax that is totally
different from what GCC accepts.  (Inline assembly syntax is something
very specific to each compiler.)  The DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip
from the same place you get DJGPP) explains this issue in more detail
in sections 17.1 and 18.13, and also gives pointers to more
documentation on this subject.
