  I am using Gcc 1.36 with AT&T assembler, without any problems.
I also get nice gdb informations out of it.
Umm..  I did  'make i386v' (or something like it), without modifying
any sources on this  ISC 2.0.2 ix/386 that I have.
Later on I have applied one patch from RMS to avoid fault on statement:

   float ff = 1e100;

:-)  (It was in 3dplot program for X-windows, not in my own code)
