I think that MicroSoft is porting XENIX, which is a UNIX lookalike to a
wide variety of machines, the 8086 included.

As far as the code produced by the C compiler -- for the 68000, the compiler
that we have (the one from MIT), produces very reasonable code. It's fast
enough to do just about anything you want in C, with proper use of
register variables.
