DJGPP creates 32 bit code, not 16 bit code.  To get 16 bit code, you'd
have to rewrite the compiler.  Also, AFAIK all GNU tools are written as
32 bit programs, because they were originally designed to run under
Unix.

Why the heck do you want to make 16 bit code anyway?  That's taking a
major step _backwards_ to my way of thinking.
