So why do you mention imake if it checks i386 and you want to get
__i386__ back? I don't understand. __i386__ cannot be a typo since
i386 is defined in the specs.
In fact, i386 is a problem since it violates the namespace. You
cannot get a ISO C compliant environment with gcc/egcs as it is.

We can try to make XFree86 to check __i386__. But we should give
something to imake to check within cpp.

How about making "i386" available except when -ansi?
That's what we do in this situation for other ports.

This is a first step. I think we should really prevent these symbols
from being defined by the compiler since they easily can conflict with
vars.

I'm sure this has been brought up before: Why is there no c89 front-end?
It should be easy to enable -ansi when argv[0] is "c89". Or, since this
is against the GNU coding standards, install another driver.

Ooops. It should be i386 is checked by imake.
