Hi,
Actually the package is called bin86 and it can be found from the devel
section in both stable and unstable. Here's the description:
Description: Assembler and loader for kernel compilation.
This is the as86 and ld86 distribution written by Bruce Evans.
It's 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).
