DJGPP (on DOS) and MinGW (on Windows) are GCC compilers too, and they are 
needed to help building ports for other compilers on DOS and Windows 
because of the assmbler.

I think I'm going to apply the following modified patch instead:

  #endif
  #ifdef ALLEGRO_WATCOM
    {"#define FUNC(name)            .globl " PREFIX "name ; nop ; _align_ ; 
" PREFIX "name:", 0},
+ #elif defined ALLEGRO_UNIX
+   {"#define FUNC(name)            .globl " PREFIX "name ; _align_ ; .type 
name,@function ; " PREFIX "name:", 0},
  #else
    {"#define FUNC(name)            .globl " PREFIX "name ; _align_ ; " 
PREFIX "name:", 0},
  #endif
