Today I've released a thing I've been working on lately, that may be of interest to programmers here: GCC for 8088/8086. If you've been planning to make a demo or game for pre-386 PCs but wanted to be able to use the latest C11 or C++14 standards or wanted some state-of-the-art compiler optimizations, this is the tool you need.
It's not perfect yet, but it does already generate better code than Watcom, Borland or Microsoft compilers for these machines in many circumstances (mostly because of the advanced target-independent optimizations previously mentioned). I'm planning to continue adding features and improving the code generation, and upgrading it to later GCC versions as they are released. Enjoy!
