Description: Development environment for 8086 Software development
 ELKS-86 = Embedded Linux Kernel Enviroment for 8086. The project
 attempts to provide a running Linux system for 8086 CPUs.
 .
 It contains a working assember, linker and C-compiler for 8086 cpus
 which is important for the development of boot loaders or BIOS related
 8086 code. C-Library and example code (tiny-utils) are also provided.
 .
 ELKS-86 can run 8086 code under i386 Linux by implementing a new executable
 binary format. The execution of 8086 code can be used for testing
 or to use the advantage of the compactness/speed of 8086 binaries.
 .
 ELKS-86 contains an upgraded version of as86 which is also a part of the
 binutils86 package (essential for compilation of the integrated kernel loader)
