        Setting the target for i686 will produce binaries in the 686
directory, but gcc doesn't seem to know anything about x86 higher
than -m486.  I don't understand how pentium or 686 optimizations performed
if the compiler won't take a -m586 or -m686 flag.  Are there other flags
I'm missing?

Thanks!
