That would only help mips.

I wonder what a mips machine would need with an i486 emulator.

For IA-32 we would have to patch 2.4.18, but we cannot properly
update those packages in woody without people losing their
modules (would hurt a bit on laptops...).  So that's a no-go.

Hence, the upgrade directory for real 80386 machines.
