bin86: bin86 (8086 assembler/loader) bin86: bin86: This is a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit bin86: code for the 386+ processors. In the past it was used to compile the bin86: 16-bit bootsector and setup binaries for the kernel, but modern bin86: (2.4.x or newer) kernels use GNU ld instead. bin86: bin86: The bin86 package is needed to compile 2.2.x or earlier kernels. bin86: bin86: bin86:
