This is going to be extremely compiler and environment dependent. You
first need to be using a compiler that will produce embeddable code. It
has to have its own runtime environment and make no use of operating
system features. I know Aonix was selling something like this, as are a
number of other compiler manufacturers. Which compiler are you using?

From there, you need to be a little more specific about your 80x86
system. Are you talking about a basic, standard issue PC with a hard
disk and you want to put a program on the disk which will be loaded at
powerup? Or is this a bare board 80x86 wherein you have some sort of
PROM you load up with your software and boot from there?

This sort of problem is difficult to answer without a lot of specifics
about your system. If you provide a little more info, you will likely
find more help here.
