Why does it even matter to you if there is a 486 binary? I'm sure you
could run a small server on a 600MHz CPU if you really wanted to, but
even if you couldn't, I don't see what the problem is.

These binaries are called _i486 but this is almost always a misnomer.
Take a gander at the Makefiles for the HL2SDK:

ARCH_CFLAGS=-mtune=i686 -march=pentium -mmmx -O3

Similar stuff happened for "i386" from HL1.
