A quick fix is copying CWSTUB.EXE (Causeway) to DOS4GW.EXE. Then it
should work. Or run WDOSX's STUBIT on it.

Use the "-l=causeway" flag with WCL386 to attach it when compiling and linking.

I think normally 16-bit Edlin is compiled with the Compact model,
right? It doesn't mean someone somewhere wouldn't also need a 32-bit
pmode version, but I think a 16-bit Compact build is good enough for
our needs.
