How to set gcc to use intel syntax permanently?

I have the following code which compiles fine with the gcc command gcc ./example.c. The program itself calls the function "add_two" which simply adds two integers. To use the intel syntax within the extended assembly instructions I need to switch at first to intel and than back to AT&T. According to the gcc documentation it is possible to switch to intel syntax entirely by using gcc -masm=intel ./exmaple.

Whenever I try to compile it with the switch -masm=intel it won't compile and I don't understand why? I already tried to delete the instruction .intel_syntax but it still don't compile.

#include <stdio.h>

int add_two(int, int);

int main(){
     int src = 3;
     int dst = 5;
     printf("summe = %d \n", add_two(src, dst));
     return 0;
}

int add_two(int src, int dst){

    int sum;

    asm (
        ".intel_syntax;"  //switch to intel syntax
        "mov %0, %1;""add %0, %2;"".att_syntax;"  //switch to at&t syntax
        : "=r" (sum) //output
        : "r" (src), "r" (dst) //input
    );

    return sum;
}

The error message by compiling the above mentioned program with gcc -masm=intel ./example.c is:
