It's also not known how well it works under Linux. There was talk about detecting if a user has it installed, then compiling 16 bit code in that case, but no one's worked to see if OpenWatcom works when ran/installed natively.
But win32 openwatcom works under wine's cmd. :-). I don't know how well native linux openwatcom works as a cross-compiler, however, but that probably doesn't matter for this discussion?

Right, but A) AJ doesn't want that and B) that doesn't allow us to (selectively) build the win16 tests the same time as the rest of the test suite.

Quite the opposite, that's exactly what we WANT to use.
