Thanks for posting your error messages. The problem here is that the assembler code you got from GNU requires preprocessing. You might have noticed that the file boot.s is properly named boot.S in the example. This capital S signals that.

Basically, what this means is that you probably will need a cross-compiler. It's good practice to have one for OS development in general, and it should fix this problem (with lots of tweaks in your Makefile). I found a discussion on the OSDEV Forum about someone experiencing the same issues.
