- No, because gcc only produces 32-bit code. However, you can compile 1.5.10
- on an 8086-80486 using my compiler. The 16-bit compiler binaries and
- patches for this are all in the 1990 release of "Minix-386". The patches
- relevant to 16-bit mode are mostly compiler support routines and bug fixes.
