Perhaps.

ELKS Project:
	http://www.uk.linux.org/ELKS-Home/

In the ELKS FAQ:
--------------------------------------
Q1.4. Can ELKS run on an 8088?

The 8088 is identical to the 8086, except it has an 8-bit external data bus
instead of 16-bit (and thus is slower). So yes, ELKS will run on it.

I haven't tried yet though.

By the way, I'm thinking about Linux port to SH-3 or SH-4.  SH is the
name of architecutre of 32-bit micro controller (or CPU) of Hitachi.
SH-3 is used in Windows CE machine, and I've heard that SH-4 will be
used next version of SEGA.

Thanks to Cygnus Solutions, we have GNU developemnt tools (GCC, GDB,
GAS...)for SH architecture.  I've build cross development environment
on my Linux box already.  No code has been written yet.

Anyone interested?  Currently, I and Ichiro Ogata of ETL are
discussing on SH.  If there are more than three people, it could become
the "PROJECT". :-)
