gcc uses i486 scheduling because that gives best performance
The situation is as follows
gcc "i686" definition is wrong. The gcc people wont fix it because the 686
definition without cmov is mostly useless anyway.
The C3 is a model 6 cpu, the kernel reports it correctly and wont change
Non Debian packaging systems know how to handle this and regard cmov as
a mandatory CPU attribute for 686 package install. Ugly but works.
