How to use Intel x86 inline assembly instead of AT&T

I'm on a Windows machine and by default due to Cygwin I have AT&T assembly directives and would like to switch over to using Intel. I've been using Eclipse to write C++ code.

I added a .gdbinit to my $HOME with set disassembly-flavor intel as the only text inside of it.
I then restarted Eclipse and yet when I come back and try:

asm(
    "mov eax, 1"
);

I get the following error: Error: too many memory references for 'mov'

Now if I change it back to AT&T syntax like so:

asm(
    "movl $1, %eax"
);

Then everything works fine.

Is there something that I'm missing?

@zch ugggh you're right. I added `-masm=intel` from command line but forgot to add it to eclipse. Not sure how to close a question.... – Chrispresso Sep 30 '14 at 20:34
why not write up your solution as answer instead. – Cheers and hth. - Alf Sep 30 '14 at 22:59
