As part of my spinlock testing, I noticed that we test for __cpu__ when
using gcc, and __cpu when not using gcc. However, I see that my i386
gcc 2.95 defines both (shown using src/tools/ccsym):

__GNUC__=2
__GNUC_MINOR__=95
unix
__i386__
i386
__bsdi__
bsdi
__ELF__
__GAS__=2
__GAS_MINOR__=10
__unix__
__i386__
__i386__
__bsdi__
__bsdi__
__ELF__
__GAS__=2
__GAS_MINOR__=10
__unix
__i386
__bsdi
system=unix
system=bsd
cpu=i386
machine=i386
cpu=i386
machine=i386
i386
__i386
__i386__

So, I wonder if we should be testing _just_ for __cpu, perhaps starting
in 7.5.
