Ditto with old EPIA-5000 mini-ITX boards with VIA EDEN:

FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Jan 27 05:11:00 CET 2008
    root@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (533.36-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x673  Stepping = 3
  Features=0x803035<FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,MMX>
real memory  = 528416768 (503 MB)
avail memory = 503152640 (479 MB)

[...]

Works flawlessly here :)

Did you perhaps have special flags in /etc/src.conf?
You shouldn't have anything there hat would let gcc
generate cmov instructions, because VIA C3 / EDENs
don't support the cmov instruction set.
