| The solution I would favour would be:
| 
| - drop the i386 support
| 
| - keep the i386 architecture name
| 
| - let dpkg-architecture output the new configuration string
|   (i.e. i486-linux)
| 
| - if anybody wants to start the mini-i386 architecture, we have to
|   find an architecture name for it.
| 
| changing the dpkg-architecture's ARCH string to i.e. i486 would break
| a lot of build scripts ...
| 
| comments welcome.

Please keep , a i386 or i586 architecture , for the via C3 processor .
i686 architecture is not compatible with C3 . 

This processor is very used in the Via EPIA motherboard :
