ELKS says "bye bye" to DEV86

["Marc-F. Lucca-Daniau" <mfld.fr@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

We are close to end a (very) long discussion about the next compiler for 
ELKS...

ELKS project (see https://github.com/jbruchon/elks) was tightly coupled 
to DEV86 until last year. ELKS is now finishing its transition to a full 
build chain based on GCC-IA16 (see https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16) 
and will be no more linked to DEV86.

There are still many components in DEV86 related to ELKS, but they don't 
need to be maintained anymore by ELKS contributors. So please consider 
them as 'residual' (or 'historical') elements.

This transition could have not been completed without the huge 
preparation work performed by /Juan Perez-Sanchez, who early tested & 
tuned ELKS on various compilers, and the very proactive support of //TK 
Chia, who currently maintains the GCC-IA16 fork. Special thanks to both 
of them./

/Now ELKS takes advantage of a modern compiler that makes room in our 
64K segment for new features, and raises plenty of new warnings to take 
care of :-)/

/Enjoy !/
