I think I had trouble with this once, as86 is contained in an obscure package
that you need to install in order to compile kernels for legacy architectures
like the Intel series of processors.
Some distributions make the need for it more obvious than others!
For instance, Debian didn't insist that I install it (through the normal
dependancy mechanism) even though I installed the kernel-source package!
After all, just because I'm installing kernel-source on an Intel (yuck) system
doesn't mean that's the architecture I'll be compiling for, does it?
:-)
Remeber, dselect is your friend - go and visit him (yet) again ...
