You want djgpp.  DOS port of GCC, also handles C++, has Flex and Bixon (I 
don't know enough about this to undestand what these are exactly, but I 
got them anyway in case I ever get far enough along to find them 
useful).  Requires 386 or higher, has a math copper emulator if you don't 
have a math copper.  Supports up to 128M each of physical and virtual RAM 
(according to the docs) and supports flat memory model.  (I was able to 
use it with only 1 meg, but was terribly slow, quite nice with 4 megs.)

Can be found in any Simtel site, such as oak.oakland.edu, which is where 
I got my copy.

I sound like the docs, for crying out loud...
