I couldn't find any pure i386 applications when I asked last time. That was for dropping soft float support. My concern was use of space hardened i386 and non-Intel cpus like the Geode which might effectively be i386.
I understand on x86 but don't want this to turn into a general minimum requirement to have atomics.

Is there really some working i386 hardware around with RTEMS on it?
