No, you can't use the SunOS 4.0 compiler to generate DOS executables.

However, there are several companies that do Sun-based cross-compiler
suites for this sort of thing.  There are reasonably current versions 
of Lattice C and Microsoft C, as well as MASM, Microsoft's linker, and 
Phoenix's linker available on Sun-3's, so it shouldn't be long before
they appear on the 386i.

[Before anyone asks, I think the Microsoft stuff is available from
 Oasys.  The Lattice and Phoenix versions were available directly
 from Lattice last time I checked.  Unipress also sold them at one 
 point, but I don't know if that's still true.]
