I would say this is rather bogus BROKEN message: it's totally unclear what
exactly "i386-specific option" is: assembler instruction, compiler option,
or something else.

This is not only bad because perhaps NOT_FOR_ARCHS might suit better in this
case, but also because it does not encourage some brave soul who might pass
by this port to attempt to fix it.  Vague hints tend to give these "oh well,
maybe later" feelings.
