Hi,

I'm proposing to drop MSCL8.MAK since
a) last time Lucho reported the compiled kernel doesn't work and nobody
stepped up to fix it.
b) I don't have MSCL myself so can't fix it myself without trying to find
a copy.
c) MSCL uses one of the ugliest builds. patchobj can be completely avoided
for Borland and Watcom kernels now, just MS needs it.
d) It neither produces the smallest kernel nor is it the fastest compiler.
e) We need to initialize init "bss" explicitly with zeros; for all other
compilers the memset ib_start -- ib_end does the trick.

Tom, can I have your ack since you're the guy who got the support in there
in the first place?

Bart
