Above you see the program i am trying to run. I boiled it down to one last error which i can't seem to find the answer to. The error message sound as following:

test.s:19:1: error: unknown directive
.type func, @function
^

I compiled it on a Macintosh 10.9.1 using gcc -m32 test.s and ggc -c test.s. I browsed Google looking for answers, but i can't seem to find any. It is the AT&T syntax.

This directive simply isn't used by the Mach-O assembler. It You should omit it. There are some other differences here.
