Did you look at the Open Watcom compilers: C, C++, and F77 ?

Open Watcom has many modes of compilation: 8086, 80286, 80386, etc.

Open Watcom's compilers are not public domain, so they don't meet
Paul's (rather odd) requirements.

Are you sure about the public domain thing ?  The license is here:

Yes, I'm sure that that's a license that imposes some restrictions.
It's not public domain.

Just one example:

"""
You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright
and other proprietary notices and disclaimers of Sybase as they appear in the
Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to
this License;
"""

Anything that's public domain has no copyright.

Why do you ask?
