The thing that came up in my mind was, how does djgpp turn a Un*x binary into a DOS executable? There's a 32-bit DOS stub that gets attached during the later compile process, after compiling and assembling. The only thing is, I don't know if it would be possible to compile something in Linux, copy the compiled file over to the DOS partition, then finish the compile process by attaching the 32-bit DOS stub. Has anyone ever tried that? I haven't, and so can't say whether it will work or not - but that's how djgpp works, and so it should work with an x86 Linux and FreeDOS.
