386 is fairly hairy because of the FPU differenced and a 386 kernel is
materially slower than a 486 one as it has to deal with some unsupported
MMU features and some missing but important for SMP instructions.

A 486 or 586 kernel is basically just compile options. You actually want
to build for 486 instruction set but tuned for 686 I suspect - gcc
supports this sort of stuff nicely.
