I am not suggesting to build Linux on 8086, I do know it won't fit
(protected mode...) and this is why I came to ELKS!
This is also why I cannot reuse coreboot for my project and I started to
write a kind of boot86 / mon86.
I only suggested to try to build Busybox with dev86, and using the libc
from dev86 for the glue between Busybox code and ELKS.
Was it tried before ?

If I take the example of my 80188 system
BusyBox and uClibc don't work on 16-bit segmented architectures with 64K code and data size limits. Linux doesn't either. If you want to run a Linux-like system on an 80x86 where x < 3, you can't use any of the software you just mentioned at all.
