There is a 16-bit version of djgpp (which is based on gcc) that is said to be able to generate 8086/88 code here

The -S flag creates assembler output, although not these days for 8088.

gcc -S myfile.c

The output will be in the file myfile.s.

GCC allows you to specify the target architecture of a machine using -mtune = cpu-arch, but it currently does not support i8088. Supported architectures - i386 and newer architectures.

If you can consider other compilers, there is always OpenWatcom, which is open source and will generate 16-bit code.
