The GNU C compiler, GCC can do that:
http://gcc.gnu.org


From the manual it has the configure target 'DOS'. I guess for the rest the
usual gcc cross compiling HOWTO's apply, best see the gcc installation
manuals, however might be a bit tricky getting it to run for the very first
time.


Also a link that might be interesting for you is:

DJGPP is a gcc running itself under old style DOS. Beside that they might
also have some interesting information, also for cross-compiling for DOS on
a UNIX machine.
