Comment (by vbraun):

 There is no way to make a binary that will run on all x86 cpus ever made.
 For starters, the original x86 didn't even have x87. Its an evolving
 instruction set, and we should aim at "everything within the last X years"
 and not the most dumb binary that we can possibly build. Otherwise we'll
 just make false claims since nobody is going to be able to test that the
 binary actually works.

 The only reason for removing the 3DNow would be if that makes build time
 faster since the naming scheme for the "generic i386 archdef" is without
 it. Which is why I'm asking if it actually helps. And for that I guess
 we'll have to time builds on cicero, maybe I'll get around to it after the
 22nd when you are gone.
