MicroSoft C (I am using v 3.0 and 6.0) work just fine.  The drawback is that
they are many, many $$$$$$$$$.  TurboC v 1.0 works well and later (I tried 1.5,
but junked it) don't work quite as well; seems Borland IBM-ified some of the
useful library routines, like printf (as I recall...) and the Z100 now gives
'WILD INTERRUPT' when fed one of these.  If funds permit, get the MicroSoft C,
IMHO it is a *far superior* product.
