I don't really understand why you're asking this. If you have a i586
system, why not configure gcc for the i586 ?
The most significant difference between i586 (Pentium) and i686
(Pentium Pro) from gcc's point of view is MMX instructions.
SuSE only distristributes for i586! This is - of course - outdated so it
is resonable to create a more modern tool chain on top. I do so as well.
Mind you I would which for pentium4 - but that fails as cross compile is
still flacky. But that is a diffrent story.
