I am not suggesting to build Linux on 8086, I do know it won't fit=20
(protected mode...) and this is why I came to ELKS!

This is also why I cannot reuse coreboot for my project and I started t=
o=20
write a kind of boot86 / mon86.

I only suggested to try to build Busybox with dev86, and using the libc=
=20
from dev86 for the glue between Busybox code and ELKS.

Was it tried before ?
