Comment (by Chris Johns):

 The post link process is badly defined and implemented inconsistently in
 the BSPs that supported it. I suspect it is only of use in a limited
 number of cases and in specific use cases for some hardware
 configurations. The data in the .cfg files is important and should be kept
 until we can find a suitable way to export the important details to all
 application build systems.

 I do not think I have used the `bin2boot` method of booting a PC and
 current use the standard ELF file our link process generates via the iPXE
 boot loader that is loaded by a BIOS PXE loader. All this stuff is widely
 available, clearly documented and supported.

 I just realized that the bin2boot is used by all i386 BSPs, see also
 #3410.

Comment (by Sebastian Huber):

 I don't want to remove all pc386 BSP variants. This ticket is about the
 removal of bsps/i386/pc386/config/pc386.cfg. I don't want to touch the
 pc486 for example.

Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 Delete bin2boot. But I adamantly oppose removal of this port and bsp until
 x86_64 is available.

 GCC is considering removal of other targets including m68k. Even with it
 removed, we could choose to stick with an old toolset.
