Long story short, some time ago I've filed a PR for dev86 and I was informed that upstream is no longer around. However, there's a maintained fork at: https://github.com/jbruchon/dev86 Its maintainer seems to be putting an effort to become the single point of maintenance for this package, so I suppose it makes sense to switch.
Just in case, fork moved to codeberg: https://codeberg.org/jbruchon/dev86
https://codeberg.org/jbruchon/dev86/issues/1 Upstream request for new release
New release was made last month, so time to bump?
I try to fix build both the version in tree and the new version (1.0.1) in new repo, but failed. too many warnings & errors to be fixed if compiling with modern compiler (i did the test with gcc14 & clang19). I think it's best to be fix the issues by upstream first. Partial results are put at https://github.com/clan/gentoo/tree/dev86/sys-devel/dev86, feel free to take it if anyone want to have a try. Please note that both ebuilds are unfinished (1.0.1 failed during compile by clang, during install if by gcc; -std=c89 is tying w/o success)
submit a PR for 1.0.1, with patch by using -std=c89 & ignore some errors real fix should be done in upstream no real test, please test by caution
