Is there anyone who has been thinking of porting the Gnu compilers
to machines running the Intel iAPX286 or maybe 386 processors?

Porting them to the 386 is a reasonable idea, and somebody's probably
doing it already. Porting ANYTHING from the Gnu project to the 286 is
strictly for masochists.

Yes, there are people claiming to be working on 386 ports.
The best way to contact them is to post an inquiry to the mailing
list:
info-...@prep.ai.mit.edu
(to join this list ask info-gcc-requ...@prep.ai.mit.edu ).
This list is also the same as the gnu.gcc newsgroup. If you aren't
receiving the alternative USENET newsclass gnu.all yet, ask your
USENET administrator to check with his upstream feeds.
Inquires about the GNU project can be made to
g...@prep.ai.mit.edu
