The debian.org site says that bin86 "a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the 386+ processors (under Linux it's used only to create the 16-bit bootsector and setup binaries)." It is not installed in the initial Debian install. Both times I have done new installs of 2.2r2 and gone to rebuild a new kernel (from the source from kernel.org) the build has stopped with an error that it can't find as86. I install the bin86 package and run make again and it goes fine. Am I missing something else that should be there to build the kernel or is bin86 really needed? I am wondering which since if the second, bin86 should be installed with the base system.
