I briefly considered compiling the interpreter with 
the old 16-bit 640K-limited Watcom DOS C compiler
many years ago (just as an extra option for some people), 
but I never seriously tried to make it work.
Without a DOS extender like Causeway or DOS4GW,
the interpreter would be limited to 640K of memory.
Only small programs would run.
Perhaps translated-to-C programs would have a slightly
better chance, since they need less memory 
(no Euphoria front-end in memory).
I'm sure you'd run into lots of 32-bit to 16-bit 
C-related glitches.
