Does this mean that you want a cross-compiler that runs on DOS and 
produces binaries for Linux?

If so, it should be possible, at least in principle.  However, a much 
easier way is to go the other way around: to cross-compile on Linux for 
DOS.  This has actually been done, and there are instructions and 
toolkits that will help you to do that.
