Generate 16-bit code for i386?

Maybe I didn't RTFM (Using and Porting gcc) closely enough, maybe it can't
be done. I'd like to run gcc as a cross-compiler to generate code for an
Intel 80386 running in 16-bit mode. (Why? this is an embedded system running
its very own OS, which is still 16-bit. NOT MY FAULT.)

At present I am obliged to use a compiler which the company commissioned from
an outside firm which had the source code license to a commercial compiler
which I will not name; this company ported it to MVS (sic), and the net result
is:

brain-damaged    bletcherous    losing    bag-biting    mud-sucking

and also dumps core on me all the time and is infested with ANSI trigraphs.

As a result I will probably end up compiling my source on a pc or similar
and feeding the assembler output into the production process. In which
case I would rather use the best compiler for the job - i.e. gcc if poss.

Answers by email please, a reply could get lost in the traffic of this group.
