A 486 is NOT a "modern" machine in this context.

I have a PPro... (586-200mHX) as my gentoo firewall. I use:
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i586 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
If you have a 486, I believe you are a pentium (NOT a pentium pro). I
would change all the i586's above to i486s.
You definitely do NOT want to compile with -mcpu=i686
It will generate code that will not work. I think that is true for
-mcpu=i586 as well... but I may be wrong. Play it safe, though.
