I can't think of a good reason why it shouldn't build with OpenWatcom so you're 
probably right about it just being more strict.  But before you start delving 
into the help files I'd probably try building it with an older version of 
OpenWatcom. You can download older versions of OpenWatcom from their FTP site.

ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/archive/

And it looks like Watcom 11.0c is there too, which I hadn't noticed before:

ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/archive/11.0c/

So maybe try that first, then try progressively newer versions until it breaks.

The Linux build will still need GCC as OpenWatcom's Linux support is still in 
early development.  Plus OW itself won't actually run under Linux.

I don't think OW supports *BSD.

Using OW for the DOS, NT & OS/2 builds is sensible though.
