#PLEASE reply to me (im not on the list).
I dont mean...when was gcc compilable on i686. I mean, when did it start
having a flag for it...
eg:
i386 Options
-m486 -mno-486 -msoft-float -mno-fp-ret-in-387
But for i686.
from word of mouth (eg irc probing), it seems like it only began in 3.2,
i dont believe this. And after searching gcc's site on gnu.org for a
_while_, its too complex.
I'd appreciate: a solid answer to this question, AND knowledge on how to
find such changes on your website for other architectures.

Hard to determine, since it predates the use of CVS.

*Much* earlier than that, e.g. pre-1996.
That's not to say that the i686 code generated by circa-1996 gcc's was
any good ...
