FWIW, Open Watcom supports far (48 bit) pointers in 32 bit code.
However, since the feature sees almost no use it is probably buggy.

There is a community of 16 bit DOS users out there. Some of those folks
are using 16 bit x86 devices in small embedded systems. It's a small
community to be sure, but not zero sized.
