FWIW, all I've really been doing is defending the idea that some people want
the code to run on a 386, however poorly.

But for the most part, the people who would use that approach aren't bothered
by not having 386 support there by default.

BTW, for the person who pointed out that the userland is 486, and won't run on
386, anyway, without everything rebuilt: I'm pretty sure that's not true since
the compiler upgrade, since the new compiler can't do CPU optimization
correctly, without puking things out.  8-).
