I think the order of the operands is wrong: the AT&T syntax reverses them
(first source, then destination).  That is, "movl %%ebx,%1" puts what's in
EBX into the 1st arg, not the other way around.  The same reversal of
operands happens with addl.

I believe this is explained in section 17.1 of the DJGPP FAQ list.
