I remember when that came out... I hadn't considered it because as I
recall, it was a fairly small subset - I though it was too small to be
useful for Unix porting. Looking at v2.2 for x86, it doesn't support
floating point, short, long, unsigned, sizeof, casts, non-automatic
locals, arrays of pointers, structs or unions. This makes it too
restrictive for porting Unix.

At this time,
the only open-source 16-bit x86 C compiler I know of is
Bruce Evans' C compiler (bcc).
Don't forget James Hendrix's "Small C", which has been around since
what feels like forever. 80x86 and many other ports are available.
