-Linux on IA-32 has recently switched from using ``as86`` to using ``gas`` for

-assembling the 16-bit boot code, removing the need for ``as86`` to compile

+The build system has, as of 4.13, switched to using thin archives (`ar T`)
|
|
+rather than incremental linking (`ld -r`) for built-in.o intermediate steps.
|
|
+This requires binutils 2.20 or newer.
