That's not true. :-))
BCC(1) UNIX Reference Manual BCC(1)
NAME
bcc - Bruce's C compiler
SYNOPSIS
bcc [-03EGOPSVcegv] [-Aas_option] [-Bexecutable_prefix] [-Ccc1_option]
[-Ddefine] [-Iinclude_dir] [-Lld_option] [-Qc386_option] [-Ttmpdir]
[-Uundef] [-o outfile] [-fpt error] [ld_options] [infiles]
DESCRIPTION
Overview
Bcc is a simple C compiler suitable for generating 8086 or 80386 code.
It basically understands the old K&R C input syntax, with some restric-
tions on bit fields. It interacts with the programs as86(1) and ld86(1).
As a compile-time option, it is also possible to convince bcc to generate
code for the Motorola 6809 CPU.
Options
-0 (the digit 0) 8086 target (works even on 80386 host)
-3 80386 target (works even on 8086 host)
FWIW, i wrote the bootstrap system to display the installation
instructions of the pcemu port using bcc. With some clever dd(1)
magic and the correct link address, you can even compile DOS .com
files with it.
