My bin86 does not include bin/bcc.

I don't understand. It is called bin86. I think Dev86 is more complete.
bin86 is just:

bin/as86
bin/as86_encap
bin/ld86
bin/objdump86
bin/nm86
bin/size86
man/man1/as86_encap.1
man/man1/as86.1
man/man1/ld86.1

Maybe I will package that too.

bin86 is all I needed though. I have been using it in pkgsrc for several
months (mostly for building lilo which is also in my pkgsrc).
