This package is only needed if you decide to use Lilo on your LFS system. If you're going to use something else like Grub you won't need bin86. Check the documentation for your favorite boot loader to see if you need the bin86 package (usually only ld86 and/or as86 from this package are required).
Keep in mind, though, that it's not just boot loaders that use the bin86 package. There is always the chance that some other package needs programs from this package, so keep that in mind if you decide to skip this.
Install Bin86 by running the following commands:
make && make PREFIX=/usr install |

as86 is an assembler for the 8086...80386 processors.
as86_encap is a shell script to call as86 and convert the created binary into a C file prog.v to be included in or linked with programs like boot block installers.
ld86 understands only the object files produced by the as86 assembler. It can link them into either an impure or a separate I&D executable.
