To be more explicit, a text mode windows program is not a DOS program.  It
will do anything useful on a DOS system without windows.

If you desire 32-bit protected mode DOS programs, DJGPP may be your best
option.  New builds of DJGPP are available at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
.  I'm not sure if the current binaries run correctly under cygwin as they
are programs that run under a DOS extender.   They used to work under
Windows and OS/2, but it's been a while since I tried them on a recent
version of Windows.

If you need 16-bit real mode or 16-bit protected mode DOS binaries,
OpenWatcom is an option.  (It can also do 32-bit binaries, but if you are
compiling code meant for GCC,  DJGPP may be the better option).  You can
find it at https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2 . OpenWatcom is
included in distributions of FreeDOS.
