One thing that I've been scratching at... Will there be any support for
native Linux executables for ELKS running on i386 and higher? I am sure
that this can't be too hard, even if it's limited to bcc-generated (or
other) a.out executables (main use is to get rid of 64k limit where it
doesn't have to forced upon you.)

Wouldn't that be dependent on the support of the instruction set and
segmentation handling of i386 or higher as opposed to the smaller
instruction set and segmentation handling of 8086 & i286 ? Do you have
the ABI document for an 8086 or a 286 ?
