pc386 BSP - is it still supported?

[Angelo Fraietta]

I am using that bsp (actually the pc386dx which is identical except that 
it does not use the math co-processor). I am using the lastest snapshots 
with the latest linux build tools. Give it a go and see how that works. 
I used getch (insetad of getc(STDIN) )from the PC keyboard a while ago 
and it worked for me.

i.e

char c;
c = (char) getch();

See how that goes for you.
