I doubt it. Apparently at least some of the VIA CPUs that are being sold
today don't count as a 686 as far as gcc is concerned.
You're right, I misread the devel kernel changelog. It's i586smp that's
being dropped from core.
Incidentally, a 486SX doesn't include an FPU, and Fedora kernels (not
surprisingly) don't include emulation code. One other thing for the
Original Poster to remember.
