Similarly I tried ( a few times over the years) to upgrade from eu 4.05 to eu 4.10 but could never get around the problem where I cannot compile in Watcom, the compiler insists on assuming GCC even when I explicity say Watcom. So, I'm still on eu 4.05

This was a deliberate choice. OpenWatcom was dropped because, at the time, we had recently introduced 64bit support, OW did not have it (yet), and we thought we would release very soon. That was ... a decade ago?

Nowadays, OW has had 64bit support for a long time ( see https://www.japheth.de/JWasm.html ) so perhaps it makes sense to revisit this decision.
