A small number of such processors are supported, e.g. I believe the mn10200 is 16-bit, and there is an 8-bit port for AVR microcontrollers. I am not aware of any port to the 80188: the use of segmented memory rather than a flat address space, and hence the need for various memory models, makes it difficult to support any x86 processor prior to the 386.
