Yes and no.  John Hassey of Data General (hassey@dg-rtp.dg.com) has
done some work on an MsDos port.  This compiler does not run on MsDos,
but only runs on a Unix system and generates code for MASM.  This compiler
is not fully operational, and has serious problems when compiled for 
other target systems, such as Sun.  The code it generates for MASM
does not assemble cleanly.  John has stopped working on this to give
more attention to the demands of his employer.

You can get the patches to gcc-1.37.1 at wuarchive:pub/gcc-i86ms.pat.Z
