If you are going to use Linux as your development system, you perhaps
don't need anything else. In case you're gonna use Windows you should
download the DJGPP (or any other) port of GCC (www.delorie.com); you
should also get the binutils with ELF support enabled instead of those
that are shipped with DJGPP. I put them at http://elfbinutils.narod.ru
along with some instructions on how to set everything up.

What you will also most probably need is Bochs, a PC emulator
(http://bochs.sourceforge.net). There are versions both for Windows
and Linux. It makes use of a harddrive image, so you'll need some
tools to write to DOS filesystem images. If you use Linux, you've got
mtools, and there is also a Windows port of them..
