I was curious what the state of the i8086 generation was in 2.7.x, and whether anyone was working on it. I checked some of the files and I still see references to EAX, etc. so I am assuming it is not functional yet. I was also curious how the memory model will be handled (ie. dynamic arrays greater than 64K if free heap allows it, etc.).
It should be functional, although it does break occasionally, so you should always keep the latest working version if you plan on using it. I run the testsuite weekly and try to fix any regressions, but occasionally it may take longer if I'm busy. There's a wiki page dedicated to the i8086 port here with more details:
