Wow, you right:

Watcom C/386 compiler version 7.0 was released in 1989 and was one of the first 32-bit compilers for DOS targeting the 386 CPU.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (Sierra) was published 1993 too - Sierra adventure games using Watcom C/386.
Release date of Gabriel Knight was 1993-11-22, Doom was 1993-12-10.
