As Jeff noted, i386 actually is the "marketing" name used for the platform, GCC has been defaulting to i486 for ages, and I upgraded to i586 last year: 2015-11-15 Gerald Pfeifer * config/i386/freebsd.h (SUBTARGET32_DEFAULT_CPU): Change to i586. Remove support for FreeBSD 5 and earlier. And, yes, the system compiler on current versions of FreeBSD is LLVM (for most platforms including x86). There is still a fair user base, though. Given the above, do you still see a desire to make this change? Gerald
