 if you build from source then its a non factor

Not sure that's the case, you'll probably need a 

-march=pentium-pro

in your CFLAGS.
(maybe without the hyphen - man gcc should tell you what it accepts.)

Although most modern chips are optimized to run i386 code well,
you may find some programs work better on PPRo

 if you decide to install from rpm then 
 I think you will want to get the i586 or i686
 although i386 should work.

 I just inherited a 200Mhz Pentium Pro machine.  It will be my

 RedHat 6.2 from a Pentium II machine to the PPRO, and all is well.
 
 I have 2 stupid questions:
 
 1.  Should I install gimp from a binary 'i386.rpm' or should I compile
 from sources?
 
 2.  If compiling from sources, how do I tell the compiler (or should I)
 to optimize for the PPRO?
 
 Thanks...
