Andrew, could you put a new entry into the Linux FAQ suggesting that
CFLAGS+= -m486
or (for the new compilers that most people are not yet running)
CFLAGS+= -mpentium
or
CFLAGS+= -mpentiumpro
be added to Makefile.custom? Otherwise people are going to get 386 code generation
for most installations...
