From man cc on a 386 Xenix system...

    Memory Models: cc can create programs for four different memory models:
    small, middle, large, and huge.  In addition, small model programs can be
    pure or impure.  On the 8086 and 80286 processors, these various
    segmentation models allow programs with code or data larger than 64K
    bytes.  Since the 80386 can address segments larger than 64K bytes, the
    middle, large and huge models are not supported on the 80386.
