Bug#219356: I also think libc6-i586 would be useful
libc6-i686 won't work in a K6. An libc6-i586 would be useful for using
NPTL on a i586 (if it works, I recall at least Gentoo's glibc didn't
compile NTPL in a i586. I recall seeing somewhere it needed a couple of
small patches to work).
If NPTL works correctly in a 486, a libc6-i486 could be used instead of
a libc6-i586 (but I don't think enough people use a 486-class machine
nowadays for it to make sense; I see lots of Pentiums, Pentiums MMX and
K6s but few 486s around here).
