Did you try these i686 builds? Try them. Possibly they were optimized
for i686, but using 386 instructions and will run on older processors.
There are two kinds of processor switches -m and -DCPU if I am not
mistaken. If the binaries were compiled with something like
-m686 -DCPU=386, they should work on older processors. I may be wrong
in some details, but in genaral it is not true, that any binary with
i686 in the name will work only on 686. And there are quite a few 686
types....
If these binaries don't work, then..... hmmmm.... you may try to
compile the source... :-| But it will take time.

Just do it. You'll see it is very good thing.
