Yup, 486 is a save base to make sure, that binaries will run. i386, i think, is that much old, so you dont need to support them any longer. But all in all, i think that nearly everyone nowadays has a pentium in her/his box. I personally build my boot-cd with something like -march=i686 -mtune=i686 and they worked on every machine i could test them on. All in all, compiling for 486 is save, for sure, and will run on nearly all machines today. Performance isnt an argument for other settings cause running from cd will allways be a bit slower than from hard disc.
