The FreeDOS kernel can supposedly be compiled with the following compilers: MS C, Watcom C, Turbo C, Turbo C++, Borland C. >From those, I have tested successfully Open Watcom and Turbo C 2.01. Both are free (no cost). Using Turbo C requires to change a few lines of comments though, as I wrote here the 26th November of last year (still not fixed on SVN).
