gcc for i386 can be used with the assembly prefix ".code16gcc" to generate 16-bit (real-mode) code. This header file provides the assembly prefix.
This only works correctly with newer GCCs if you pass the -fno-toplevel-reorder option (and it only works on older GCC versions by accident). This option however disables certain optimisations; but perhaps that doesn't matter all that much here.
