My understanding of this issue is that it is really a GCC bug, since GCC
uses CMOV when compiling for 686, even though it is an optional
instruction.

The traditional work-around is to compile for 586.  I believe kernel
option CONFIG_M586=y should fix this.

Note that current Ubuntu Server kernels already don't boot on C3 and
other CPUs since they have CONFIG_M686=y.
