If under "80386 build" understanded code generation with option -3,
then this code generation is known to be buggy. For example, I know that
there was troubles with returning long values. Unfortunately, looks like I
lost the example of buggy code generation with -3.

All BC RTL is 16-bit "safe". For multiplication see files f_lxmul.asm
and n_lxmul.asm.
