GCC suppoces, that your machine has 32-bit integer and linear memory (or
something). Since 80386 has this, it is possible to develope a 386 GCC. GCC
for 386 UNIX quite straight forward implementation, but I read from something
(comp.gnu.gcc ?)  that there are at least two versions of GCC for MSDOS, one
using some 386 extension environment and another which has it builtin.
