With the help of Gregg Levine <obiwanthejediknight@worldnet.att.net>,
a version of the Small-C compiler has been ported to ELKS and seems
to work well (and quickly)!  Now, of course, an assembler, a linker,
and a library are needed.  The ideal assembler would be a simple DOS
assembler (with source) which could be ported to ELKS.  If anyone is
aware of such, please let me know.  Since I don't know of any, I have
compiled "as86" with "bcc" so it can run under ELKS.  The result runs
(and works) successfully with the "doselks" emulator, but fails while
trying to allocate 44,032 bytes of memory under ELKS.  If anyone who
is familiar with the kernel can look at the problem, I can send a tar-
ball of the (slightly-modified) assembler source tree.

as86 is probably what you want - as86/ld86 already load and link binaries
against the current C library so that side of the process is done

Make sure you chmem it to a large data size
