> Just build for those as -march=i586. preventing -fcf-protection with -march=i686 would be a really bad idea, that would basically prevent all of CET protection for 32-bit code, i686 is what is used as the supported lowest common denominator of 32-bit code.

Could the findings indicate that there are two bugs here?

  - The Geode LX target capable of supporting fcf-protection but GCC-11
currently rejects that architecture and flag combination (in the
potentially-buggy code[1] that Adrian refers to)

  - Multi-byte NOPs are emitted for architecture i686 by GCC-11, despite some
CPUs within that architecture lacking[2] support


Also potentially relevant is bug 41989.
