Support for the 80C186 is unlikely any time soon because gcc and g++ do not support any members of the ix86 architecture before the 386. eCos makes use of a number of very useful language extensions which are provided by gcc and g++ but not by other compilers, and there are no plans to support other compilers.

Ports to some other members of the PowerPC family are under consideration, and I believe this part has been mentioned specifically. If I find out more I shall let you know.
