As the owner of a still-functioning 10-year old laptop with a pentium processor I should not assume that others always have the same processor as that which I have SUSe running on. (the laptop's running a slackware 10 distro) How much does it matter whether the gcc is built with i686 options versus i586 or even i386, assuming you're actually using i686 type of processor, if you then use that gcc to build an application using i686 options?
