Yeah, I have bcc, bcc-cc1, as86 and ld86 compiled under ELKS,
but there's still problems. bcc-cc1 is 63.5 out of 64k, and for some reason spits
out garbage instead of assembly. The other programs seem to run, but they're
tight also. We do have the ash shell running, as well as a decent vi editor.
ELKS currently is quite developmental, not really a good platform
to develop other programs on just yet.
