real i386 could theoretically be supported again :-P



GCC 4.0 no longer includes the i486-specific code in the C++ include file
atomicity.h.  It's no longer inline.

This means we could theoretically go back to compiling everything for i386
rather than i486, support stock i386 kernels, etc.

But there've been so many changes to accomodate the i486 default it's
almost certainly not worth it at this point.  :-P  I doubt etch would run
in the memory available on any actual i386s anyway.
