As Alan will likely repeat, the glibc definition of i686 is not
conformant with the Intel definition of i686. It includes instructions
Intel declared optional, and Via does not implement. So a glibc i686
binary won't run on all the i686 processors on the market.
I know, but this is a via C7 (not a C3) which _does_ implement the instructions
to match the rpm definition of i686 (which means it does implement cmov), but
appearantly it doesn't implement them too well.
