It is a pity that there are no binaries.

It is pain inflicting when you have to set up a complete build system just to test something.

In any case, it is only 6KB of difference in resulting IO.SYS size compared to the other ready to use solutions provided on the previous posts. So, it is not a big deal, just a "it would have been nice to have tested it" thing.

extract the file winboot.98s

using Lunar IPS (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/240/) apply the patch (you should use the filter to show all files) uploaded here: https://megawrzuta.pl/ucmhkzol

Final name is IO.SYS (CRC32 B923E1FA)

Thank you nico7550

You gave me something to entertain myself with this evening!
I will give it a test in a few hour when I arrive home.
