You are missing the plain fact that *it is already working*.
.code16gcc is a binutils directive which takes 32-bit code emitted by gcc and
assembles it to produce valid (although suboptimal) 16-bit code. So it really
*is* just a matter of putting the directive in the right place.
And yes, it is used before entering protected mode.
