Hello,

what's the purpose of bin86 in system?

From 'emerge -s bin86'

	Assembler and loader used to create kernel bootsector

From /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bootsect.S

	*	modified by Chris Noe (May 1999) (as86 -> gas)

Can bin86 be removed from system, or is there other packages still using 
{as,ld}86?

Many thanks,
Norberto
