Yes, I agree that openwatcom is better. And that we had all the compiler discussions anybody can stand years ago. But still it would have been nice to have this kind of compiler when I was searching for one before I started writing on FreeDOS. I think this compiler might even be better than the one I am currently using (turbo C++ 1.01).
It would be nice if all the code from FreeDOS could be compiled with the compiler given in the distribution. Maybe all code should be transitioned to openwatcom then. The problem may then be that openwatcom is not GPL licensed. And it is still controlled by a big company that would most likely not want to listen to issues from the FreeDOS project. About the borland compatibility, I don't think it is anywhere near. But then again my utilities don't use a lot of library functions anyway.
