Alternatively, you may also be able to use 4.0b1, the beta that has DOSFAMILY, to build Windows executables from the DOS branch. Then you can use the newly built Windows executables to build the DOS version.
Thinking it over, I would have to recommend against doing this. This would require cross-translation, which opens up the possibility for a new class of bugs. (I recall very early on some problems Jeremy had doing cross-translation to build the first official OSX binaries - they ran on OSX but kept thinking they were Euphoria on Linux/GNU.)
I don't think we have any known issues with this now, but it's harder for me to vouch for code from even a few years ago (and when we used a different source control revision system). It's possible you might bump into old bugs regarding cross-translation if you try this route.
