I was in flu. Sorry.

Th i586, or i686 optimizing meaning that the C compiler generate the right
processor code, not for the source code optimizing!
So the i586 or i686 is meaning, that the compiler command line options
other like, i486. The improvements is minimal, if it about 4-5% I'm very
happy.
So if You would like generate i586 package type this:
rpm --rebuild --target i[356]86 openssl-0.9.6-1.src.rpm
, or, what I prefer:
rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.6-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPEC
rpm -ba --target i[356]86 openssl.spec
If You would like, the optimizing code, You need edit the
/usr/lib/rpm/macros, and /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
The own rpmrc file for example:
optflags: i386 -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce
optflags: i586 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -pipe \
-s -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -ffast-math -mieee-fp \
-fexpensive-optimizations -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 \
-malign-functions=2
optflags: i686 -O3 -march=pentiumpro -mpentiumpro -fno-strength-reduce \
-DCPU=686 -ffast-math -mieee-fp -fexpensive-optimizations \
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -pipe -s
I stolen from mandrake the i586 flags :)

I replace this.
I use the gcc >= 2.96 or egcs >= 1.1.2
I hope this was helpfull. If You've got any question pls ask me, but I'm
ill so bit, so maybe the replay will be slowly...
