Real mode compiler

Hello,
well after having my computer down for 2 weeks because the BIOS chip was fried ( NEVER TRY TO UPGRADE YOU BIOS
), I thought that PMode is too much for just trying to get an OS started.
So, does anyone know of a real mode compiler that uses A.OUT format & a linker with it that makes realmode binary code?
Thank you

I don't think one for C exists. But NASM can assemble for 16bit or 32bit via the [bits 16] or [bits 32] statement.

ok I changed my mind
. Is there a GNU c compiler for DOS that'll makes 16-bit real mode binary code?

not to my humble knowledge ... maybe in embedded C compilers (but they rarely supports the full ANSI C, though ...)

Borland has early versions of Turbo C++ and Borland C++ available for free from their web site. But they're not GNU, as requested.

You may want to do a search on the
Free Compiler List, as it is likely to have several 16-bit C compilers.

I think gnu never made a real mode compiler...
