Hello all,

> the person currently maintaining a version of that port for GCC 6 is=20
> covered by an FSF copyright assignment.

I am the maintainer behind the https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16 fork.

Yes, I have done the copyright assignments for my IA-16 patches for GCC (in
2017) and also for Binutils (in 2018).  I believe that the previous develop=
ers,
Mr. Lambertsen and Mr. Jenner, have also made the needed copyright assignme=
nts.

The current gcc-ia16 code can produce code to run on an 8086, 80186, or 802=
86
machine, and also has support for far pointers --- including far function
pointers.  The texinfo documentation has been updated to lay out the featur=
es
that the IA-16 port has.

Thank you!=
