Well, there is one last possibility, if you feel a bit adventurous:
you could set up a cross-compiler toolchain.  I.e. you would run a
special version of GCC, e.g. on Linux, and have that create programs
which run on Win32s.

Actually, I made an error in my assessment: large parts of RSXNTDJ
could work even on Win16+Win32s systems, because essentially RSXNTDJ
*is* a cross-compiler itself: it runs on DOS, but makes executables
for Win32.
