1. The function should be called _keyget not _key in the asm source.
2. You are trying to compile C programs with gxx, which assumes all
source is C++.  (Use .cc or .cpp extension for C++ source.)
3. Because of this, you are trying to use C++ calling conventions for
a C calling conventions function.  Try wrapping your prototypes with

extern "C"
{
  /* prototypes */
}
