Re: Still having a problem building elks kernel

For what it is worth, it builds OK under Gentoo Linux. The only problem is that 
the output is somewhat broken :-(

If anybody has seen this bug or can send me an 80(1)86 build floppy image using 
BIOS calls I would very much appreciate it.

I just created a new VM and installed Arch Linux last night.  I'll try
installing the bcc x86 packages this evening and cross my fingers that
