Whomever you may have to approach, it's not very likely you'll find
them in this particular place.  comp.arch.embedded is far more likely
to have the people you need.  

The 80186 is a 16-bit embedded controller based on the x86 series of
CPUs, for which no GCC support exists.  I'm not aware of any
cross-compiler toolchain hosted on Suns (of all things --- why not use
PCs, or Linux?) that would target this platform.

Also note that 80186 is a dying platform --- no new chips any more.
